Factors for Decimal numbers?

[mathewmithun]

Can we factorize decimal numbers?
Eg: what are the factors of 1.5? I would start the question by writing 1.5 as 15/10. factors of 15=1,3,5,15 and factors of 10=1,2,5,10. How to proceed now? I know this might be a very silly question, but I just could not push it aside...

Can we factorize decimal numbers?

For the sake of 'factorization', we can do so.
But it has no practical point as any fraction(or decimal) can be a factor of any other factor(or decimal).

This is because we can express any fraction as the product of any other two or more fractions.
