While both terms can be used to mean the same thing, "non-integer number" is the more precise and commonly used term. "Non-integral number" might sometimes be used in a broader sense in certain mathematical contexts, but it generally carries the same meaning as "non-integer number" when referring to real numbers.

This PR is a fix for an issue listed in #110383.
Use widely used non-integer instead of non-integral.
