Decimals are a method of writing fractional numbers without writing a fraction having a numerator and denominator.

A decimal may be greater than one. The decimal 3.7 would be pronounced as THREE AND SEVEN TENTHS.

A decimal may be greater than 1. The decimal 12.37 could be pronounced as TWELVE AND THIRTY-SEVEN HUNDREDTHS or as TWELVE POINT THIRTY-SEVEN.
