Desimaalisilla

Desimaalisilla refers to a system of representing numbers using a base-ten positional notation. This is the standard decimal system commonly used worldwide. In this system, each digit's value is determined by its position relative to the decimal point. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent whole numbers, with increasing powers of ten as you move further left. The digits to the right of the decimal point represent fractional parts, with decreasing powers of ten as you move further right. For example, in the number 123.45, the '1' represents one hundred, the '2' represents twenty, the '3' represents three, the '4' represents four-tenths, and the '5' represents five-hundredths. The decimal point acts as a separator between the integer part and the fractional part of the number. This system allows for the precise representation of both integers and fractions, making it a versatile tool for mathematics, science, and everyday calculations. The concept of desimaalisilla is fundamental to understanding arithmetic operations and the structure of the number system.
