Decimal System
The decimal numeral system is the most commonly used and the standard system in daily life. It uses the number 10 as
its base (radix). Therefore, it has 10 symbols: The numbers from 0 to 9; namely 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

The difficulty of representing very large numbers in the decimal system was overcome by the Hindu–Arabic numeral
system. The Hindu-Arabic numeral system gives positions to the digits in a number and this method works by using
powers of the base 10; digits are raised to the nth power, in accordance with their position.
Meanwhile, the digit 6 after the decimal point is in the tenths (1/10, which is 10-1) and 7 is in the hundredths (1/100,
which is 10-2) position
Thus, the number 2345.67 can also be represented as follows: (2 * 103) + (3 * 102) + (4 * 101) + (6 * 10-1) + (7 * 10-2)
