197 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a basic question about decimal representation. To understand this, we must first grasp the concept of whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a number without fractions, while a decimal is used to represent numbers that are not whole. The decimal point is used to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part, if there are any.
