You use a number of rules:* Positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.

To compare two positive numbers:

* The number more digits to the left of the decimal point is larger. For example, 200 is greater than 27.

* If there is no whole part (no part left of the decimal point), the one with less zeros after the decimal point is larger. For example, 0.03 is greater than 0.0005.

* If both of the above are the same, the number which has the largest digit for the first non-zero digit (from the left) is largest. For example, 0.03 is greater than 0.029.

* If this first non-zero digit from the left is the same, compare the second digit. If those are the same, compare the third digit, etc. For example, 0.02556 is greater than 0.02541.

For negative numbers, the rules above give you the SMALLER number. For example, -0.3 is less than -0.02.
