How do you know the number of parts to divide a number line from 0 and 1 into when comparing fractions?

To compare fractions, you can divide the number line between 0 and 1 into equal parts based on the denominators of the fractions involved. For example, if you are comparing (\frac{1}{3}) and (\frac{1}{4}), you would divide the number line into 12 equal parts (the least common multiple of 3 and 4) to accurately represent each fraction. This allows you to visualize their relative sizes and determine which is larger or smaller.
