Numerical digit - Wikipedia The decimal numeral system uses a decimal separator, commonly a period in English, or a comma in other European languages, [2] to denote the "ones place" or "units place", [3][4][5] which has a place value one Each successive place to the left of this has a place value equal to the place value of the previous digit times the base Similarly, each successive place to the right of the separator
Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia However, most decimal fractions like 0 1 or 0 123 are infinite repeating fractions in base 2 and hence cannot be represented that way Similarly, any decimal fraction a 10 m, such as 1 100 or 37 1000, can be exactly represented in fixed point with a power-of-ten scaling factor 1 10 n with any n ≥ m
Repeating decimal - Wikipedia A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is
