Understanding decimal place value

Digits after the decimal point represent tenths, hundredths, thousandths and smaller units. In 4.57, the digit 5 is in the tenths place and the 7 is in the hundredths place. To compare decimals, write enough zeros to align the decimal places: 0.7 = 0.70, which is larger than 0.65.

Decimal arithmetic

Align decimal points when adding or subtracting, not just the final digit. For 1.2 + 3.4, the answer is 4.6. When multiplying, first multiply as whole numbers, then count decimal places in the inputs: 0.4 × 0.3 = 0.12. In division by a decimal, shift both numbers by the same power of ten so the divisor becomes a whole number.

Rounding and common mistakes

To round 5.786 to two decimal places, inspect the third decimal digit, 6, and round the hundredths digit upward: 5.79. For scientific notation, normalize the leading number so it lies between 1 and 10, and adjust the exponent to preserve the value. Always distinguish a rounded answer from an exact value, particularly in measurement and money calculations.
