Verb
decimal (third-person singular simple present decimals, present participle decimaling or decimalling, simple past and past participle decimaled or decimalled)
- To represent with numbers after a decimal point.
- 1984, Robert William Dent, Proverbial Language in English Drama Exclusive of Shakespeare, 1495-1616: An Index[2]:
- Single- decimaled entries, often originating in Whiting (Wh) or Wilson (OW; see p. 23, fn.3), are from SPL. To save space, examples cited in SPL are normally not repeated (examples therefore begin with "Add:"). Double- decimaled entries, again often based on Wh or OW, are "new."

- simplified, substantively interpretable versions of the optimal (but many-decimaled) linear combinations of your original variables
- 2015, Brad Knickerbocker, It’s Pi Day! Let’s have some pie., Christian Science Monitor:
- So naturally, 3/14 – the 14th of March – is celebrated as “Pi Day.” And since 3.14 is the beginning, not the end of Pi – it can be decimaled on out to infinity – and since the next two numbers are 1 and 5 voila! today’s date 3/14/15 is really special.
