Best Answer

No 2.398 is not grater than 2.4.

Answer:

The implied accuracy of the two numbers is different.

2.398 has an implied accuracy (depending on whether truncation or rounding is used) of being between 2.3975 and 2.3989, while 2.4 has an implied accuracy of being between 2.35 and 2.49.

As a consequence it is not possible to determine which is greater unless the degree of accuracy of both numbers is stated.
