The usual method is to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Then you can simply compare the numerators.
You can also convert each of the fractions to a decimal - this can easily be done with a calculator, simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

Two ways: convert them to decimals or convert them to similar fractions and compare the numerators.
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
You cannot compare fractions by using the GCF since GCF determines the common factors of both fractions. Instead, use the LCD to compare the fractions. Find the LCM of the denominator terms of the fractions. Then, obtain the fractions with the common denominators. Finally, compare the numerator values to determine which fraction is the greatest/least.
you have to compare the common fractions
You can either convert fractions to decimals and compare the decimal numbers; find equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare numerators or find equivalent fractions with the same numerator and then compare denominators.
To compare fractions, convert both of them to a common denominator.
Find the equivalent fractions with the same denominator (the least common multiple) and then compare the numerators.
To compare two fractions, find a common denominator, then convert each fraction to equivalent fractions with that common denominator. Finally, you compare the numerators. 5/6
It may be simplest to convert them all to a common form: rational fractions, decimal fractions or percentages and then compare them. When you are more expert, you may be able to convert them pairwise into a common basis and compare.
