A positive number is larger than a negative number. For example, 5 is more than -8.

For positive numbers:

* The number with more digits is larger. For example, 123 is more than 28.

* If two numbers have the same number of digits, compare the first digit. The number with the larger first digit is larger. For example, 207 is more than 128.

* If the first digit is the same, compare the second digit. If those are the same, compare the third digit, etc. For example, 2280 is more than 2245.

To compare two negative numbers, the number which - without the minus sign - would be SMALLER, is the larger number. For instance, -8 is more than -9.

How the use of scientific notation?

Scientific notation is used to express very large or very small numbers. instead of writing 15,000,000, you can express the same number by writing it as 1.5 * 107 or, you could express the very small number .00000015 as 1.5 * 10-7 to express a number in scientific notation, simply place a decimal point after the first number (in a large number) or before the last number (in a very small number) and multiply by ten to the nth power, where n is the number of digits following the decimal point (in a large number) or negate the number of digits before the decimal (in a very small number).
