Russian term or phrase: знак после запятой
Если при изменении курса заявки в 3 или 4 знаке после запятой на один или несколько пунктов, курс не меняется, надо производить изменение на большее количество пунктов в нужную Вам сторону, это происходит потому, что исходные суммы обмена имеют точность до 2-го знака

neutral  Natalie: Но вопрос-то не про десятичный знак сам по себе, а про 3 или 4 знак после запятой//third decimal place - согласна, а third decimal point - это, извините, как же?//Посмотрела. Неубедительно.Сплошь блоги,форумы,турецкие сайты итп

  -> А посмотрите в сети - third decimal point, хоть и странно, но встречается немного реже, чем place, и куда чаще, чем third decimal digit // Тем не менее, в живом американском языке оно встречается сплошь и рядом

decimal places


Explanation:
After thinking about this term, I have chosen another answer for this translation.

Example sentence(s):
  • When we are given a long division to do it will not always work out to a whole number. Sometimes there will be numbers left over. We can use the long division process to work out the answer to a number of decimal places.
