Decimal definition

Of or based on the number 10; progressing by tens.

Expressed or expressible as a decimal.

Numbered or ordered by groups of 10.

A fraction with an unwritten denominator of 10 or some power of 10, indicated by a point (decimal point) before the numerator (Ex.: .5 =⁵₁₀)

Any number written using a decimal point.

A representation of a real number using the base ten and decimal notation, such as 201.4, 3.89, or 0.0006.

A decimal fraction.

Decimal is defined as a system of numbers or currency where everything is based on the number ten, or on parts of ten.

The definition of a decimal is a number written with a decimal point and a remainder that represents portions of ten.

A number written using the base 10.

A linear array of digits that contains a single period, called the decimal point, is possibly preceded by a minus sign (−), and represents a real number, with each successive digit to the right of the decimal point indicating a multiple of the next negative power of 10, and each successive digit to the left of the decimal point indicating a multiple of the next non-negative power of ten, beginning with 10⁰ = 1. For example, 245.3 represents the real number (2 × 10² ) + (4 × 10¹ ) + (5 × 10⁰ ) + (3 × 10⁻¹ ) = 200 + 40 + 5 +³₁₀ , and −1.04 represents the real number (−1 × 10⁰ ) + (−4 × 10⁻² ).

Such an array of digits in which there are no nonzero digits to the left of the decimal point, representing a real number between −1 and 1.

Based on 10.
