Two ways to answer the question:
Method 1: convert both fractions to decimals
6/19 = 0.316
31/92 = 0.337
So 31/92 is bigger
Method 2: find equivalent fractions with the LCM of 19 and 92 as denominator:
6/19 = 552/1748
31/92 = 589/1748
and no surprise, 31/92 is bigger.
It is called "writing a fraction as an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator"!
The name of a fraction with a larger number on top is called an improper fraction.
When the fractions are converted to equivalent fractions with the same denominator the one with the larger numerator is the larger fraction.
A fraction can be larger than 1, for example, 4/2 is a fraction (which can be simplified to 2). Only a fraction that is larger than 1, multiplied by another number gives you a larger number.
