# Decimal Numbers

Numbers that lie between integers on the number line can be written as decimal numbers. These consist of an integer part, a decimal point as a separator, and a non-zero decimal part. Consider the number $12.3461$ as an example.

In this case, the integer part is $12.$ Since there is a decimal part, $3461,$ we know that the number is greater than $12$ but less than $13.$ Therefore, if we plot $12.3461$ on a number line, the point will lie between $12$ and $13.$

It's important to note that these decimals can have very different values, depending on their place value.
