Help when using Typeset in AIX Korn Shell

Guys, please help! I am currently using an AIX server however whenever I tried to use the typeset -F3, the variable is resulting with a "#".

In the given example below, I declared x to be a decimal holding 3 decimal places = 1.455. However whenever I tried to echo the $x, the resulting value became 3#1. Please let me know how can I make $x to be exactly the value I assign to this variable (1.455). Thanks in advance!
Code:
home/zzavilz> typeset -F3 x=1.455
home/zzavilz> echo $x
3#1

Server Info:
Code:
home/zzavilz> uname -a
AIX sverpdev 1 6 00F6F6764C00
 
home/zzavilz> echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/ksh
