Finding Floor and Fraction of the Decimal Number

Finding Floor and Fraction of the Decimal Number

Today I presented a solution for a very common request - given a decimal number, find its floor (I am using this Wikipedia definition) as well as its fraction.  

This is the solution as appeared in that referenced thread:

DECLARE @amount MONEY;
 
SET @amount = 812.85;
 
SELECT @amount AS Amount
    ,CAST(floor(@amount) AS INT) AS [Whole portion]
    ,@amount % 1 AS [Decimal portion]

This can be used to print on a check, for example. This blog post by Kalman Toth presents a function that converts number to words.
