Decimal fractions are commonly expressed without a denominator, the decimal separator being inserted into the numerator ( with leading zeros added if needed ) at the position from the right corresponding to the power of ten of the denominator ; e. g., 8 / 10, 83 / 100, 83 / 1000, and 8 / 10000 are expressed as 0. 8, 0. 83, 0. 083, and 0. 0008.
