# Is there an (english) term for a digit to the right of the decimal separator?

Take for example a number $2.718\dots$. Now the digit $7$ is called the tenth, $1$ hundredth and $8$ thosandth and so on, but is there a common term for these individual digits. In swedish for example there is a term ("decimaler"), I think in latin one would use at the term "pars minuta", at least in the hexagesimal system (cf "pars minuta prima", "pars minuta secunda"), but is there such a term in english?

The question is similar to another question, but it differs in that the answer there seem to focus on the $718\dots$ as a whole (which seem to be called the mantissa).

You could say "fractional digits" and (probably) be correctly understood, at least in context. For example, see How to extract fractional digits of double/BigDecimal or How many fractional digits do I need to represent a number of base $m$ in base $n$?
I think the term "decimal digit" is ambiguous, however, since one sometimes sees statements such as that the decimal digits are $0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,$ or that the number $2^{32}$ has nine decimal digits. That is, in some contexts a decimal digit can refer to any digit that appears or might appear anywhere in a decimal representation of a number. Worse still, the asker of one of the questions mentioned above used the term "decimal digits" to refer only to the digits to the left of the decimal separator.
