[Tex/LaTex] Dot before numbering

numbering

I have a problem with numbering. Everywhere is a dot before the number. Like equation numbering, figures numbering etc. Does anyone know how to remove it?

In document classes that have chapters, for example the standard report and book classes, it is normal for numbering to be "within the chapter" so that the second equation in chapter 4 is (4.2). If you hide the chapter number with

\renewcommand\thechapter{}

then the number will go but the separator will still be there so you would get (.2).

The solution is not to do that but instead do something else. If you do not want chapters the simplest thing is to use article class instead, but it is of course possible to customise report to have chapters but not to number equations within the chapter.
