23Example 8: Compare the numbers 4861 and 4875.
Solution:
In both the numbers, the digit at the thousands place is 4 and at the
hundreds place is 8. The digit at the tens place in 4861 is 6 and in 4875 is
7. Since 7 > 6, therefore, 4875 > 4861.
•
If the digits at the thousands, hundreds and tens place are same, then compare the
digits at the ones place.
Example 9: Compare the numbers 4861 and 4865.
Solution:
In both the numbers, the digits at the thousands place is 4, the hundreds
place is 8 and the tens place is 6. The digit at the ones place in 4861 is 1
and in 4865 is 5. Since 5 > 1, therefore, 4865 > 4861.
If all the digits in both the
numbers are same then the
numbers are equal and we
use the sign ‘=’.

Before, After and Between
Consecutive numbers
The numbers which follow one after the
can also be written
other are called
consecutive
numbers. For
backwards. For example,
example, 1316, 1317, 1318, 1319, 1320 are
1320, 1319, 1318, 1317, 1316
consecutive numbers.
A number one less than a given number comes just before it and
is called its predecessor.
A number one more than a given number comes just after it and
is called its successor.
Consider a 4-digit number 5863.
Its predecessor = 5863 – 1 = 5862 and its successor = 5863 + 1 = 5864.
