The fractional part or decimal part of a non‐negative real number



x


{\displaystyle x}
is the excess beyond that number's integer part. If the latter is defined as the largest integer not greater than x, called floor of x or




x



{\displaystyle \lfloor x\rfloor }
, its fractional part can be written as:




frac

(
x
)
=
x


x

,

x
>
0


{\displaystyle \operatorname {frac} (x)=x-\lfloor x\rfloor ,\;x>0}
.For a positive number written in a conventional positional numeral system (such as binary or decimal), its fractional part hence corresponds to the digits appearing after the radix point. The result is a real number in the half-open interval [0, 1).
