A number that uses a decimal point is called a decimal number. Decimal numbers can represent both whole numbers and fractions by indicating values that are less than one. They are typically expressed in the form of digits before and after the decimal point, where the digits to the left of the decimal point represent whole units, and the digits to the right represent fractions of those units. For example, 3.14 is a decimal number where 3 is the whole number part and 0.14 represents the fractional part.
