Yes.

If you take two things that are EXACTLY the same size and you then cut one into 6 pieces and the other into 8 pieces, the pieces from the '6' cutting will be larger than the pieces from the '8' cutting (because there are less of them).

In both the 7/8 and 5/6 cases, only one piece from each is missing from the whole.

But as we know an '8' piece is smaller than a '6' piece then the remainder of the 7/8 must be bigger than the remainder of the 5/6.

What is greater 1sixth or 1 eighth?

The greater the denominator the smaller its value. Since eight is greater than six the value of 1eighth is lesser than 1 sixth. Another way of saying, 1 eighth is nothing but dividing 1 into eight equal parts and 1 sixth is dividing into six equal parts. Obviously the 1 sixth part will be greater than one eighth. For eg. if you share a cake equally with eight friends, the slice be will smaller than when you share equally with six friends.
