Decimal time is the representation of the time of day using units which
are decimally related. This term is often used to refer specifically to
French Revolutionary Time, which divides the day into 10 decimal hours,
each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into
100 decimal seconds, as opposed to the more familiar standard time, which
divides the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes and each minute
into 60 seconds.
