How do I get the numbers after a decimal point?
For example, if I have 5.55
, how do i get .55
?

5.55 % 1
Keep in mind this won't help you with floating point rounding problems. I.e., you may get:
0.550000000001
Or otherwise a little off the 0.55 you are expecting.

Use modf:
>>> import math
>>> frac, whole = math.modf[2.5]
>>> frac
0.5
>>> whole
2.0

What about:
a = 1.3927278749291
b = a - int[a]
b
>> 0.39272787492910011
Or, using numpy:
import numpy
a = 1.3927278749291
b = a - numpy.fix[a]

Using the decimal
module from the standard library, you can retain the original precision and avoid floating point rounding issues:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> Decimal['4.20'] % 1
Decimal['0.20']
As kindall
notes in the comments, you'll have to convert native float
s to strings first.

An easy approach for you:
number_dec = str[number-int[number]][1:]

Try Modulo:
5.55%1 = 0.54999999999999982

To make it work with both positive and negative numbers: try
abs[x]%1
. For negative numbers, without with abs
, it will go wrong.
5.55 % 1
output 0.5499999999999998
-5.55 % 1
output 0.4500000000000002

import math
orig = 5.55
whole = math.floor[orig] # whole = 5.0
frac = orig - whole # frac = 0.55

similar to the accepted answer, even easier approach using strings would be
def number_after_decimal[number1]:
number = str[number1]
if 'e-' in number: # scientific notation
number_dec = format[float[number], '.%df'%[len[number.split["."][1].split["e-"][0]]+int[number.split['e-'][1]]]]
elif "." in number: # quick check if it is decimal
number_dec = number.split["."][1]
return number_dec

.55

Just using simple operator division '/' and floor division '//' you can easily get the fraction part of any given float.
number = 5.55
result = [number/1] - [number//1]
print[result]

Sometimes trailing zeros matter
In [4]: def split_float[x]:
...: '''split float into parts before and after the decimal'''
...: before, after = str[x].split['.']
...: return int[before], [int[after]*10 if len[after]==1 else int[after]]
...:
...:
In [5]: split_float[105.10]
Out[5]: [105, 10]
In [6]: split_float[105.01]
Out[6]: [105, 1]
In [7]: split_float[105.12]
Out[7]: [105, 12]

Another example using modf
from math import modf
number = 1.0124584
# [0] decimal, [1] integer
result = modf[number]
print[result[0]]
# output = 0124584
print[result[1]]
# output = 1

This is a solution I tried:
num = 45.7234
[whole, frac] = [int[num], int[str[num][[len[str[int[num]]]+1]:]]]

Float numbers are not stored in decimal [base10] format. Have a read through the python documentation on this to satisfy yourself why. Therefore, to get a base10 representation from a float is not advisable.
Now there are tools which allow storage of numeric data in decimal format. Below is an example using the Decimal
library.
from decimal import *
x = Decimal['0.341343214124443151466']
str[x][-2:] == '66' # True
y = 0.341343214124443151466
str[y][-2:] == '66' # False

Use floor and subtract the result from the original number:
>> import math #gives you floor.
>> t = 5.55 #Give a variable 5.55
>> x = math.floor[t] #floor returns t rounded down to 5..
>> z = t - x #z = 5.55 - 5 = 0.55

Example:
import math
x = 5.55
print[[math.floor[x*100]%100]]
This is will give you two numbers after the decimal point, 55 from that example. If you need one number you reduce by 10 the above calculations or increase depending on how many numbers you want after the decimal.

import math
x = 1245342664.6
print[ [math.floor[x*1000]%1000] //100 ]

Another option would be to use the re
module with re.findall
or re.search
:
import re
def get_decimcal[n: float] -> float:
return float[re.search[r'\.\d+', str[n]].group[0]]
def get_decimcal_2[n: float] -> float:
return float[re.findall[r'\.\d+', str[n]][0]]
def get_int[n: float] -> int:
return int[n]
print[get_decimcal[5.55]]
print[get_decimcal_2[5.55]]
print[get_int[5.55]]
Output
0.55
0.55

If you wish to simplify/modify/explore the expression, it's been explained on the top right panel of regex101.com. If you'd like, you can also watch in this link, how it would match against some sample inputs.

You can use this:
number = 5.55
int[str[number].split['.'][1]]

This is only if you want toget the first decimal
print[int[float[input[]] * 10] % 10]
Or you can try this
num = float[input[]]
b = num - int[num]
c = b * 10
print[int[c]]

Using math module
speed of this has to be tested
from math import floor
def get_decimal[number]:
'''returns number - floor of number'''
return number-floor[number]
Example:
n = 765.126357123
get_decimal[n]
0.12635712300004798

else:
return [numerator/ denominator]-[numerator // denominator]

Easier if the input is a string, we can use split[]
decimal = input["Input decimal number: "] #123.456
# split 123.456 by dot = ['123', '456']
after_coma = decimal.split['.'][1]
# because only index 1 is taken then '456'
print[after_coma] # '456'
if you want to make a number type print[int[after_coma]] # 456

What about:
a = 1.234
b = a - int[a]
length = len[str[a]]
round[b, length-2]
Output:
print[b]
0.23399999999999999
round[b, length-2]
0.234
Since the round is sent to a the length of the string of decimals ['0.234'], we can just minus 2 to not count the '0.', and figure out the desired number of decimal points. This should work most times, unless you have lots of decimal places and the rounding error when calculating b interferes with the second parameter of round.

You may want to try this:
your_num = 5.55
n = len[str[int[your_num]]]
float['0' + str[your_num][n:]]
It will return 0.55
.

number=5.55
decimal=[number-int[number]]
decimal_1=round[decimal,2]
print[decimal]
print[decimal_1]
output: 0.55

See what I often do to obtain numbers after the decimal point in python 3:
a=1.22
dec=str[a].split['.']
dec= int[dec[1]]
