think of the # 2 as 2.00000000000      the closer that the number after the decimal point...gets toward the whole number (2) makes the number bigger.. if that makes sense I.E. from largest to smallest.... 2.3  , 2.03  ,  2.003  ,  2.0003       the number after the decimal point goes from tenths to hundreths to thousandths ....i hope this helps!  think of it like money.... 2.30  is 2 dollars and 30 cents.  2.03 is 2 dollars and three cents
