Look at the flags given alongside.

They are arranged from the biggest to the
smallest.

In the same way, we can arrange numbers
from the biggest to the smallest.
We use backward counting
20 19 18 17 16 15 to write numbers from the
biggest to the smallest. This
Biggest Smallest is called decreasing order.
