239 as a decimal

Answer

239 as a decimal can be written as 239.0. It is a whole number, and thus, the decimal representation includes the digit zero after the decimal point.

Explanation

To express 239 as a decimal, we simply add a decimal point followed by a zero, because there are no fractional parts in the number. This is a straightforward conversion because 239 is already a whole number.

Step 1: Identify the whole number, which in this case is 239.

Step 2: Since there are no fractional parts, we place a decimal point after the whole number and follow it with a zero.

Step 3: The resulting decimal representation is 239.0.

• Whole Number: A number without fractions; an integer.
   
• Decimal: A number that uses the base ten and includes a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part.
   
• Fractional Part: The part of a number that appears after the decimal point, representing values less than one.
   
• Decimal Point: A dot used to separate the whole number from the fractional part in a decimal number.
   
• Non-Terminating Decimal: A decimal number that continues infinitely without repeating a pattern (not applicable to 239).
