The Vietnamese word "thập phân" translates to "decimal" in English. It is used primarily in mathematics and refers to a system of numbers that includes a decimal point to separate the whole number part from the fractional part.

Definition:

• Thập phân (decimal): A number system based on ten, where numbers are represented using digits from 0 to 9, and a decimal point indicates the separation between whole numbers and fractions.

Usage Instructions:

• "Thập phân" is commonly used when discussing numbers, calculations, measurements, or anything that involves parts of a whole.

Example:

• Simple Usage: "Số 3.14 là một số thập phân." (The number 3.14 is a decimal number.)
• In Mathematics: "Khi bạn chia 1 cho 3, bạn sẽ nhận được kết quả là 0.33, một số thập phân." (When you divide 1 by 3, you get the result of 0.33, which is a decimal number.)

Advanced Usage:

• In more advanced contexts, "thập phân" can be used in discussions about decimal systems in computing or advanced mathematics, like "số thập phân vô hạn" (infinite decimal) or "số thập phân tuần hoàn" (repeating decimal).

Word Variants:

• Thập phân hóa: (to convert to decimal) - This refers to the process of changing a fraction or whole number into its decimal form.
• Số thập phân: (decimal number) - Refers to any number that is expressed in decimal format.

Different Meanings:

• While "thập phân" primarily refers to the decimal system, in some contexts, it can also refer to decimal places (the digits to the right of the decimal point).

Synonyms:

• Số thực: (real number) - Although this term is broader and includes all rational and irrational numbers, it can occasionally be used in contexts involving decimals.
• Số phân số: (fraction) - While not exactly synonymous, it relates to the concept of parts of a whole, which is a key element of decimal numbers.
