COmPArINg NumberS

We have already learnt the method of comparing numbers up to 4 digits. The rules of

comparison for large numbers are the same.

Comparing Numbers with Different Number of Digits

rule 1. The greater the number of digits, the greater is the number.

example 1. Compare 53,645 and 3,687.

Solution. TTh Th H T O Th H T O
5 3 6 4 5 3 6 8 7

5 digits > 4 digits

Thus, 53,645 > 3,687.

Comparing Numbers with the Same Number of Digits

rule 2. If the number of digits is the same, then we start comparing the digits from

the extreme left. We compare the digits until we find two digits that are different. The
digits that are different are compared to find the larger number.
