Decimals Properties
The properties of decimals under multiplication and division operations are as follows:
- Product of any two decimal numbers remains the same regardless of the order of multiplication.
- Multiplying a whole number by a decimal number in any order yields the same product.
- When a decimal fraction is multiplied by 1, the result is the decimal fraction itself.
- Multiplying a decimal fraction by 0 results in a product of zero (0).
- Dividing a decimal number by 1 yields the decimal number as the quotient.
- Dividing a decimal number by itself results in a quotient of 1.
- Division of a decimal number by 0 is not possible, as the reciprocal of 0 does not exist.
Decimals
Decimal is a numerical representation that uses a dot, which we call a decimal point, to separate the whole number part from its fractional part. The decimal numeral system is used as the standard system that is used to distinguish integer and non-integer numbers.
In this article, we will understand what decimals are, the place value of decimals, and how to round decimals along with some solved examples based on it.
