26/39 and 5/8

I do not know without a common denominator and this looks tough, so I just multiply denominators to get a common one 312. Now, for a form of one to convert them. 312/39 = 8; that is the form of 1 (8/8) for 26/39. 312/8 = 39 and that is the form of 1 for 5/8(39/39) So..........

8*26/8*39 and 39*5/39*8

208/312 compares with 195/312

So we can say,

26/39 > 5/8
