COMPARING
AND
ORDERING
NUMBERS
Greater
Than
or
Less
Than:
When
you
are
comparing
numbers
to
decide
which
is
greater
you
need
to:
1.
Look
at
the
digit
in
the
HIGHEST
place
in
both
numbers.
The
highest
place
is
the
farthest
digit
on
the
LEFT
in
the
number.
Example:
Look
at
these
two
numbers:
934,901
765,436
They
each
have
a
digit
in
the
HUNDRED
THOUSANDS
place:
934,901
765,436
You
can
see
that
934,
901
is
GREATER
than
765,436.
934,901
>
765,436
2.
If
the
two
numbers
you
are
comparing
that
have
the
same
digit
in
the
same
highest
place,
then
you
need
to
look
at
the
next
place.
Example:
6,740
6,891:
Both
of
these
numbers
have
a
6
in
the
THOUSANDS
place
6,740
6,891:
So
we
need
to
look
to
the
HUNDREDS
place.
6,740
<
6,891
3.
When
comparing
two
numbers,
if
one
number
has
a
digit
in
a
HIGHER
place
than
the
other
number,
you
know
that
number
is
GREATER.

place.
The

number
does
NOT
have
a
number
in
the

THOUSANDS
place.
We

then
that
76,902
is
