COMPARISON OF NUMBERS

Example 10: Compare 9623 and 5843.

Solution: First we consider the digits in thousand’s place.

As 9 thousands > 5 thousands
Th H T O
∴ 9623 > 5843
9 6 2 3
Also, 5843 < 9623
5 8 4 3

Example 11: Compare 3720 and 3240.

Solution: Both the numbers have the same digits in thousand’s
place.

So we compare their digits in hundreds place.

As 7 hundreds > 2 hundreds
Th H T O
∴ 3720 > 3240
3 7 2 0
Also, 3240 < 3720
3 2 4 0

Example 12: Compare 7565 and 7568.

Solution: Both the numbers have the same digits in thousand’s
place, hundred’s place and ten’s place.

So we compare their digits in ones place.
Th H T O
As 8 ones > 5 ones
7 5 6 5
∴ 7568 > 7565
7 5 6 8
Also, 7565 < 7568
