how to transfer less than 1 eth using geth

Question

I'd like to transfer .24 eth

Using this site to convert .24 to hex I get 0.3D70A3D70A3D70A3D70A

Then using this command

eth.sendTransaction({from: "0xeadbcdf21ccd3b1d8437e6dc32509e68f638a0bc", to: "0x45c6bD2F15FDD9763dfCfAb5100829DeC5C8fbc2", value: "0x0.3D70A3D70A3D70A3D70A"})

I get this error:

Error: invalid argument 0: hex number has leading zero digits after 0x

Is it possible to send less than 1 eth or am I doing something wrong?

The correct unit for sending transactions is in Wei. You should first convert your amount by using : var value = web3.toWei('0.24', 'ether');
