  The decimal numbers may be broken up into two groups, depending on how many digits are present after the decimal point: As with decimals: A pair of decimal numbers is said to be "like" one another if they both have the same number of digits following the decimal point. In this sense, decimals like 6.34 and 2.67 are equivalent since they both contain two digits following the decimal point. In contrast to decimals If the amount of digits following the decimal point in two integers is different, we say that the numbers are "unlike" decimals. The numbers 5.3 and 6.873 are dissimilar because they contain different numbers of digits after the decimal point. Decimal is the name used to designate the most prevalent number system, the base-10 system. 10 distinct numbers make up the decimal system: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
