Comparison of Numbers
While comparing two numbers, we must remember the following points:
The number which is ahead in counting is the bigger number.
If two numbers have di erent number of digits, then the number with more digits is
always greater.
Example 5: Compare the numbers 2685 and 798.
Solution:
The number of digits in 2685 = 4 and in 798 = 3. Since, 4 > 3, therefore,
2685 > 798.
If two numbers have the same number of digits, then always start comparing from
the leftmost digit, i.e., the digit at the thousands place in both the numbers.
Example 6: Compare the numbers 2982 and 3105.
Solution:
The digit at the thousands place in 2982 is 2 and in 3105 is 3. Since, 3 > 2,
therefore, 3105 > 2982.
If the digits at the thousands place are same, then compare the digits at the hundreds
place.
Example 7: Compare the numbers 4861 and 4539.
Solution:
The digit at the thousands place in both the numbers is 4. So we move
ahead. The digit at the hundreds place in 4861 is 8 and in 4539 is 5. Since
8 > 5, therefore, 4861 > 4539.
If the digits at the thousands and hundreds place are same, then compare the digits
at the tens place.
