They are symbols used to express a relationship between the values of two numbers.
For example: Two is less than four, so 2 < 4 ; Ten is greater than two, so 10 > 2
The narrow end, or point, of the symbol always 'points' to the smallest number; the open end, or largest, 'opens' to the larger number.
greater than is > less than is <
Greater than: >Less than:
They are: > means greater than and < means less than
Less than sign is < Greater than sign is >
the less than sign is > the greater than sign is <
Less than < Greater than >
greater than is > less than is <
greater than= > less than= <
They are: > means greater than and < means less than
Greater than: >Less than:
Less than sign is < Greater than sign is >
> <
the less than sign is > the greater than sign is <
it means the signs you use in math. less than <. greater than >
Equations with greater than or less than signs are called inequalities. They express a relationship where one quantity is larger or smaller than another, rather than equal. Common symbols used in inequalities include ">" for greater than, "<" for less than, "≥" for greater than or equal to, and "≤" for less than or equal to.
greater than would be: > less than would be: < Equal would be: =
They mean that the expression to the left of the sign is greater than or less than (as appropriate) the expression to the right of the sign.
