17000 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question on decimal representation. Firstly, we must understand numbers and decimals. A number like 17000 is a whole number, which means it has no fractional part. A decimal is a way to represent numbers, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part, if any. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part, if applicable.
