To find which of two fractions is greater, first find a common denominator. The fraction with the larger numerator is the greater fraction. Note that it is not necessary to multiply the terms of the common denominator; it is only the numerator that must be worked out.

4/15 = (4 x 19)/(19 x 15) = 76/(19 x 15)

5/19 = (5 x 15)/(19 x 15) = 75/(19 x 15)

This shows that 4/15 is greater than 5/19.
