8 / 10 is greater than 6 /8

To find this, you need to move both fractions into a common denominator. To do this, you need to find a number that both 8 and 10 can be a factor of. In this case, both 8 and 10 can be multiplied by another number to give us 40. (8 * 5 = 40 and 10 * 4 = 40)

Then you take that number you just found, and multiply the fraction by that number over itself. (That number will be 1, so you're not changing the value any.)

8 / 10 * 4 / 4 = (8 * 4) / (10*4) = 32 / 40

6 / 8 * 5 /5 = (6 * 5) / (8 * 5) = 30 / 40

32 is larger than 30, so 8 / 10 is larger than 6 / 8.
