 ## MPT Precision
 
+MPTs are always expressed in whole integers. You can change the `AssetScale` of your MPT to express the basic unit as a fraction of an MPT. The XRP Ledger doesn't use the `AssetScale` on-chain: this is for your convenience in specifying the basic unit.
 
+For example, to express a value of 13.1 MPT, the MPT would require that the `AssetScale` be set to 1, and the `value` of the MPT set to 131.
