Place Value of digits in decimals

We know that the place value of any natural number will keep increasing ten times, as we move from right of a numbers towards it's left.
E.g. in a number 1234.
Place values of:
Digit 4 = 1 i.e. ones
Digit 3 = 1 X 10 = 10 i.e. tens
Digit 2 = 10 X 10 = 100 i.e. hundreds
Digit 1 = 100 X 10 = 1000 i.e. thousands

And you can see that if you move from left to right the place value started decreasing by one-tenth.
E.g. in a number 1234
Place values of:
Digit 1 = 1000 i.e. thousands
Digit 2 = 1000 ÷ 10 = 100 i.e. hundreds
Digit 3 = 100 ÷ 10 = 10 i.e. tens
Digit 4 = 10 ÷ 10 = 1 i.e. ones

Now, in case of decimals we move from left of decimal point towards right and place values will further decreases by one-tenth.
E.g. 1234.567
So the place values will be as:
Digit 1 = 1000 i.e. thousands
Digit 2 = 1000 ÷ 10 = 100 i.e. hundreds
Digit 3 = 100 ÷ 10 = 10 i.e. tens
Digit 4 = 10 ÷ 10 = 1 i.e. ones
Digit 5 = 1 ÷ 10 = 1
10
i.e. tenths

Digit 6 = 1
10
÷ 10 = 1
100
i.e. hundredths

Digit 7 = 1
100
÷1
10
=1
1000
i.e. thousandths
