In mathematics and computing, a radix point (or radix character) is the symbol used in numerical representations to separate the integer part of a number (to the left of the radix point) from its fractional part (to the right of the radix point).〔.〕 "Radix point" is a general term that applies to all number bases. In base 10 notation, the radix point is more commonly called the decimal point, where the prefix deci- implies base 10. Similarly, the term "binary point" is used for base 2. In English-speaking countries, the radix point is usually a small dot (.) placed either on the baseline or halfway between the baseline and the top of the numerals. In many other countries, the radix point is a comma (,) placed on the baseline. It is important to know which notation is being used when working in different software programs. ==Examples== * In base 10 (decimal): 13.625 : In this example, 13 is the integer to the left of the radix point, and 625 (i.e. 625/1000) is the fractional part to the right. * In base 2 (binary): 1101.101 : The binary number 1101.101 has the following digits: Hence, its decimal value can be calculated as: : It is now seen that 1101, which is to the left of the radix point, is the binary representation of the decimal number 13. To the right of the radix point is 101, which is the binary representation of the decimal fraction 625/1000 (or 5/8). ==See also== * Floating point 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radix point」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
