# Fixed-Point Numbers

> 🚧 Status: Currently only the 64-bit wide `Fix64` and `UFix64` types are available. More fixed-point number types will be added in a future release.

Fixed-point numbers are useful for representing fractional values. They have a fixed number of digits after decimal point.

They are essentially integers which are scaled by a factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be represented as 1230 with a scaling factor of 1/1000. The scaling factor is the same for all values of the same type and stays the same during calculations.

Fixed-point numbers in Cadence have a scaling factor with a power of 10, instead of a power of 2, i.e. they are decimal, not binary.

Signed fixed-point number types have the prefix `Fix`, have the following factors, and can represent values in the following ranges:

* **`Fix64`**: Factor 1/100,000,000; -92233720368.54775808 through 92233720368.54775807

Unsigned fixed-point number types have the prefix `UFix`, have the following factors, and can represent values in the following ranges:

* **`UFix64`**: Factor 1/100,000,000; 0.0 through 184467440737.09551615
