A decimal number consists of a whole number and a fractional part. Decimal numbers fall between integers and represent values that are not whole numbers.

The dot present between the whole number is called the decimal point.

Equivalent decimals have the same value and can be obtained by adding zeros after the last digit in the decimal part of a number.
