No definitely not!

Lets look at an ordinary number  so 362

There is an invisable point at the end of any whole number so this is 362.

Each of these digits has a different place value

the 2 is 2*1 = 2

the 6 is 6*10=60

the 3 is 3*100=300

When you go right of the decimal point the place values are also different.  Say I add 794 onto the end to get

362.794

the 7 is worth    $$7*\frac{1}{10}$$

 

the  9 is worth   $$9*\frac{1}{100}$$

 

and the 4 is worth     $$4*\frac{1}{1000}$$
