fraction with a power of 10 as denominator
A decimal system is a numeral system that uses ten as its radix (base). Decimal systems are the global standard for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. The way of denoting numbers in a decimal system is often referred to as decimal notation. Presently, the most common decimal system is the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, which is a positional numeral system. However, there are also non-positional base-ten systems, such as Roman or Chinese numerals.
