when referring to countable things. For example, we say fewer people, dogs, and books.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>On the other hand, we use lesser to describe quantities or items that are not counted individually. For example, we say less sugar, money, or heat.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Less is used with singular or mass nouns, such as flour. We also use less to describe an amount of something in a plural noun, such as money or time. For example, less than 5 hours or 5 dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-what-is-the-symbol-for-fewer\">What Is the Symbol for Fewer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/less-than-symbol.png\" alt=\"\u201cLess than\u201d symbol\" class=\"wp-image-37111\" title=\"\u201cLess than\u201d symbol\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/less-than-symbol.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/less-than-symbol-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>The symbol used for fewer is &lt;, which means that a number is lesser than another number.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>The symbol &gt; means a number is greater than another number.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>For example, 6 &lt; 10 shows that 6 is less than 10. This indicates that 6 is a smaller number than 10.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-facts-about-fewer\">Facts about Fewer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Fewer is normally used to describe countable objects or items.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>It is an adjective because it is used to describe the quality of a noun and convey something about that noun to us. It is a comparative word because it compares one quantity to another quantity and indicates which of the two quantities is the smaller of the two. While the definition of few means more than one, it is often used to refer to three or more things. This is because when we refer to two things, we usually say \u201ca couple.\u201d So when we say \u201ca few,\u201d we are usually referring to three or more things.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-what-is-%E2%80%9Cno-fewer-than%E2%80%9D\">What Is \u201cNo Fewer Than\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>&#8220;No fewer than&#8221; means at least. It is used to describe a minimum number or quantity of things. It is often used to refer to a quantity that is quite large. For example, no fewer than 400 people attended the event.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"6-how-do-we-use-fewer-in-a-sentence\">How Do We Use Fewer in a Sentence?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Here are some ways to use fewer in a sentence:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>There are fewer birds than there used to be.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>There are fewer students in class today than there were yesterday.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>She has fewer clothes than her sister.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>He has fewer chocolates than his friend.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Fewer than six people attended the show.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>No fewer than 500 guests were present at the dinner party.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"7-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Fewer is a concept that helps us understand one quantity with respect to the other. It helps us compare the number of countable objects and express that one amount is less than another. Using fewer in math also tells us when one number is less than another!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"8-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>1. Express this sentence using the fewer than symbol: 5 is less than 11.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong> The symbol of fewer or less than is &lt;, so we write it as 5 &lt; 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>2. Express this using the greater than symbol: 15 is greater than 9.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution: <\/strong>The symbol &gt; means a number is greater than another number. So, we write it as 15 &gt; 9.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>3. If there are 5 pencils and 10 pens, how would we express that there is a smaller quantity of pencils than pens?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution: <\/strong>We use fewer to describe countable objects. If there are 5 pencils and 10 pens, we express it as: there are fewer pencils than pens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>4. If there is a smaller quantity of salt, how do we express it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution: <\/strong>We use less to describe mass nouns that are not countable individually. So we say that there is less salt.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>5. What does this mean: \u201cNo fewer than 300 seats were set out in the hall\u201d?Solution: <\/strong>We use no fewer than to mean at least, indicating that there were more than a certain number. So no fewer than 300 seats means that there were at least 300 seats set out in the hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"9-practice-problems\">Practice Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Fewer in Math<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"2\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">Which of the following tells us that 10 is less than 16?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">$10 \\gt 16$<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">$10 | 16$<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">$10 \\lt 16$<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">$10 = 16$<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: $10 \\lt 16$<br\/>Since the less than sign is $\\lt$, we write it as $10 \\lt 16$.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"1\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">2<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">Which of the following is the correct way to express that there is a smaller number of cats than dogs?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">There are no less cats than dogs<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">There are fewer cats than dogs<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">There are more cats than dogs<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">There are no fewer cats than dogs<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: There are fewer cats than dogs<br\/>We use \u201cfewer\u201d to compare quantities where one is less or smaller than the other.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"3\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">3<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">How would we express that there is a \u201csmall amount of time\u201d?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">There is lesser time<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">There is few time<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">There is fewer time<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">There is less time<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: There is less time<br\/>We use less to describe mass nouns that are not countable individually.
