Understanding Decimal Place Value

Decimal numbers represent fractions or mixed numbers with denominators that are powers of ten. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number portion, while the digits to the right represent fractional parts that become smaller in value by factors of ten as they move further from the decimal point. For example, in the decimal number 27.356, 27 is the whole number, 3 is in the tenths place, 5 is in the hundredths place, and 6 is in the thousandths place.

Decimal Place Value

Decimal numbers are fractions or mixed numbers with denominators of powers of ten.


In a decimal number, the digits to the left of the decimal point represent a whole
number. The digits to the right of the decimal represent the parts. The place value of the
digits becomes 10 times smaller.

The first digit on the right of the decimal point means tenths i.e.   .

In 27.356, 27 is the whole number part, 


2 is in tens place and its place value is 20,
7 is in ones place, and its place value is 7. 
There are three digits to the right of the decimal point,               

3 is in the tenths place, and its place value is 0.3 or   ,

5 is in the hundredths place, and its place value is 0.05 or   ,

6 is in the thousandths place, and its place value is 0.006 or   .


  Fun Facts
 Place value and face value are not the same. The face value of a number is the value of the digit or numer
instance, the face value of 2 in 12783 is 2.
