132 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting whole numbers to decimal form is straightforward, as whole numbers are already in their simplest form. The decimal representation of a number depends on its place value system. A decimal is a method to represent numbers that are not whole, using a period (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. However, when dealing with whole numbers like 132, the decimal representation is simply the number itself, with no fractional part.
