How to compare 2 numbers?

Comparing two numbers is a process that tests the similarity between two numbers and determines which number is greater than, less than, or equal to another number.

equals – when two values are equal, for example: 3 = 3;

> greater than – when one value is greater than the other, for example: 3 > 2;

< less than – when one value is less than another, for example: 1 < 2;

It is very easy to remember which way “>” and “<” are:

  • Big number > small number.
  • Small number > big number.

Examples:

Which number is greater: 3 or 5? Short answer: 5 is greater than 3; 3 < 5 or 5 > 3.

Check this statement: 2 is greater than 4. This statement is incorrect. Because 4 is less than 2.
