316 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward topic on decimal representation. Firstly, let's understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete unit without fractions. Decimals are used to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
