class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"2-comparing-whole-numbers\">Comparing Whole Numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">There are some steps through which we can compare two or more whole numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: We should compare the number of digits. If there are more digits, it means the number is greater.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: If the number of digits is the same in both the numbers, then we should compare the highest place values or the digit to the extreme left of the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 3: If the digits at the highest place value are the same, we should compare the digits in the next digits to the right or the second highest place value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 4: We keep comparing digits with the same place value until we find digits that are different. The number with the greater face value is the greater number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>For example: <\/strong>We have to compare 5723 and 5800.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The total number of digits in both numbers are the same. So, we move to the next step, i.e., to see if digits at highest place value are the same. Since the digit at the higher place value is the same, i.e., 5, we will look at the second highest place value. The second highest place value of 5800 is 8, whereas it is 7 for 5723. Hence, $5800 &gt; 5732$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Difference $= 5800 \u2212 5723 = 77$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-comparing-integers\">Comparing Integers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Comparing two positive integers is the same as comparing whole numbers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A positive integer is always greater or more than the negative integer.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, $2 \\gt \u22123$ or $100 \\gt \u2212100$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For comparing two negative numbers, we say that the greater number with a negative sign is the smallest of two negative integers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, $\u221280 \\lt \u221275$ or $\u22123 \\lt \u22121$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Negative integers are less than 0 and positive integers are greater than 0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, $\u22128 \\lt 0$ or $3 \\gt 0$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-comparing-fractions\">Comparing Fractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper has-medium-font-size\" id=\"5-comparing-like-fractions\">Comparing Like Fractions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">To compare two or more like fractions, we just have to compare the numerators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/comparing-using-bar-model.png\" alt=\"Comparing using bar model\" class=\"wp-image-41540\" title=\"Comparing using bar model\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/comparing-using-bar-model.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/comparing-using-bar-model-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In the above image, since $7 \\gt 5, \\frac{7}{8}\\gt\\frac{5}{8}$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper has-medium-font-size\" id=\"6-comparing-unlike-fractions\">Comparing Unlike Fractions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">To compare two or more unlike fractions, we can use different methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Cross Multiplication Method<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and write the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, we have to compare $\\frac{5}{8}$ and $\\frac{6}{11}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, we multiply 5 and 11 together and 8 and 6 together, we get<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$5\\times11=55$ and $8\\times6=48$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">After that, we can compare them like two whole numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$55 \\gt 48$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Finally, we replace the numbers by fractions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{5}{8} \\gt\\frac{6}{11}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Making the Denominators the same&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In this method, we first find the LCM of both the denominators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let us take the above example, i.e., compare $\\frac{5}{8} $and$ \\frac{6}{11}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">LCM$(8, 11) = 88$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Multiply the numerator and denominator by the relevant numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{5\\times11}{8\\times11}=\\frac{55}{88}$ and $\\frac{6\\times8}{11\\times8}=\\frac{48}{88}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">After the denominators become the same, we compare the numerator. $55 \\gt 48$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Finally, we replace the numbers with fractions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{55}{88}\\gt\\frac{48}{88}\\Rightarrow\\frac{5}{8}\\gt\\frac{6}{11}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"7-comparing-decimals\">Comparing Decimals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We can compare two or more decimals by using following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: Firstly, compare the whole number part (i.e., compare the digits before the decimal).

If they are the same, then follow the next step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: Compare the tenth place. If they are different, then compare the numbers as you would for whole numbers. If they match, then move on to the next digit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 3: Compare the hundredths place. If they are different, then compare those digits as you would for whole numbers. If they match, then move on to the next digit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example: <\/strong>Compare $23.56$ and $23.289$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The numbers before the decimal are the same.
