                  In the list, the number of lanterns is ‘less than’ the number of diyas.

                  That is, 85 < 240.

                  When ‘<’ is used between two numbers, that means the number

                  on the left of the symbol is less than the number on the right of it.

                  Also, Number of candles < Number of diyas

                  That is, 215 < 240.

                  Now, note that the number of sweets is ‘more than’ the number of lanterns.

                  That is, 155 > 85.

                  Also, Number of glitter bulbs > Number of candles

                  That is, 315 > 215

                  When ‘>’ is used between two numbers, that means the number

                  on the left side of the symbol is greater than the number on the right of it.

                  Rules for Comparing Numbers

                  When the Number of Digits is Different                          Knowledge Desk

                    A number with more digits is greater                        At the time of birth, a baby has 270

                       than the number with fewer digits.                        bones in  its body. As the baby grows
                                                                                 into  an adult human,  some  of these
                  Example 1: Compare 61 and 426.                                 bones  combine  and  the  final  count  of
                                                                                 bones in an adult human being becomes
                  Solution:                                                      206.

                            H T O                                                   A 3-digit number is greater

                                6 1       2-digit number                            than a 2-digit number.
                            4 2 6         3-digit number
                                                                                      So, 426 > 61 or 61 < 426
                  When the Number of Digits is the Same

                    When each given number has 3 digits, compare their hundreds digits first.

                  Example 2: Compare 534 and 769.

                  Solution:

                          H T O                        H T O                  The number with the greater digit

                          5 3 4                         7 6 9                 in the hundreds place is greater.
                                         5 < 7                                    So, 534 < 769 or 769 > 534
