                  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 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, observe 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 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 are Different

                    A number with more number of digits is greater than the number with less
                       number of digits.

                  example 1: Compare 61 and 426.
                  Solution:

                            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 are Same

                    When each of the given numbers is of 3 digits, then 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
