Decimal fractions
Десятичные дроби
The decimal point (not a comma) separates the whole from the fraction in decimal fractions in English. Decimals are written in figures.
Точка (а не запятая) отделяет целое от дроби в десятичных дробях в английском языке. Десятичные дроби пишутся цифрами.
The digits to the left of the decimal point are usually read as a cardinal number, and the digits to the right of the decimal point are usually read as separate digits. For example, 546.132 can be read as "five hundred forty-six point one-three-two".
Цифры слева от десятичной точки обычно читаются как число, а цифры справа от десятичной точки обычно читаются как отдельные цифры. Например, 546.132 можно прочитать как "five hundred forty-six point one-three-two".
Examples of spelling and pronunciation Примеры написания и произношения
0.2 (pronounced "zero-point-two"); 0.001 (zero-point-zero-zero-one);
0.2 (произносится "zero-point-two"); 0.001 (zero-point-zero-zero-one);
1.3 (pronounced "one-point-three"); 2.5 (two-point-five); 3.6 (three-point-six);
1.3 (произносится "one-point-three"); 2.5 (two-point-five); 3.6 (three-point-six);
6.57 (pronounced "six-point-five-seven"); 8.024 (eight-point-zero-two-four);
6.57 (произносится "six-point-five-seven"); 8.024 (eight-point-zero-two-four);
17.84 (pronounced "seventeen-point-eight-four"); 99.99 (ninety-nine-point-nine-nine);
17.84 (произносится "seventeen-point-eight-four"); 99.99 (ninety-nine-point-nine-nine);
2056.831 (pronounced "two-thousand-fifty-six-point-eight-three-one").
2056.831 (произносится "two-thousand-fifty-six-point-eight-three-one").
If the whole before the decimal point equals zero, the zero is sometimes omitted in writing and not pronounced: 0.5 or .5 ("zero-point-five" or "point-five"); 0.029 or .029 ("zero-point-zero-two-nine" or "point-zero-two-nine"). It is advisable to write the zero before the decimal point in such cases.
Если целое перед десятичной точкой равно нулю, нуль иногда опускается в написании и не произносится: 0.5 или .5 ("zero-point-five" или "point-five"); 0.029 или .029 ("zero-point-zero-two-nine" или "point-zero-two-nine"). Рекомендуется писать нуль перед десятичной точкой в таких случаях.
In British English, a zero is usually read as "nought": 1.03 (one-point-nought-three); 5.206 (five-point-two-nought-six); 0.5 (nought-point-five); 0.001 (nought-point-nought-nought-one).
В британском английском нуль обычно читается как "nought": 1.03 (one-point-nought-three); 5.206 (five-point-two-nought-six); 0.5 (nought-point-five); 0.001 (nought-point-nought-nought-one).
It is considered preferable to use decimal fractions with the words "million, billion" instead of the numerals with several zeros. Compare:
Считается предпочтительным употреблять десятичные дроби со словами "million, billion" вместо числительных с несколькими нулями. Сравните:
1,500,000 – 1.5 million (pronounced "one-point-five million"); 16,400,000 – 16.4 million (pronounced "sixteen-point-four million"); 3,200,000,000 – 3.2 billion (pronounced "three-point-two billion").
1,500,000 – 1.5 million (произносится "one-point-five million"); 16,400,000 – 16.4 million (произносится "sixteen-point-four million"); 3,200,000,000 – 3.2 billion (произносится "three-point-two billion").
