decimal
Number with point
Decimal relates to the base-ten number system, where each position represents a power of ten.
A decimal point separates whole numbers from fractional parts: The price was $19.99, two decimal places.
As a noun, a decimal is a number expressed this way: Convert the fraction to a decimal.
Decimal can also mean proceeding by tens: the decimal system of currency.
