  3. Decimal Point The number to the left of the decimal point is a whole number and is 10x bigger. The number to the right of the decimal point is 10 times smaller and is a decimal number. As we move further right, every number place gets 10x smaller. The decimal point is the most important part of a Decimal Number. It is exactly to the right of the Units position. Without it, we would be lost ... and not know what each position meant.
