Decimal notation is a way of representing numbers using the decimal system, which is based on powers of ten. In this system, each digit in a number is multiplied by a power of ten, depending on its position in the number. The decimal point is used to separate the whole number part from the decimal part, with each digit after the decimal point representing a decreasing power of ten.
For example, the number 123.45 in decimal notation can be broken down as follows:
1 x 10^2 + 2 x 10^1 + 3 x 10^0 + 4 x 10^(-1) + 5 x 10^(-2)
This representation allows for the representation of both whole numbers and fractions in a consistent and easily understandable way.
