decimal fraction
A number consisting of an integer part, which may be zero, and a decimal part less than unity that follows the decimal marker (which may be a point or a comma). A finite or terminating decimal fraction has a sequence of decimals with a definite break-off point after which all the places are zeros. Other fractions produce endless sequences of decimals that are periodic non-terminating.
