No, you cannot except in trivial cases.

To compare two decimals, start by comparing the digits with the highest place-value. In this case, the first digit after the decimal point. Whichever is greater, belongs to the greater number. If these digits are equal (for example, when you compare 0.15 and 0.173), compare the second digit - and continue until you find a difference.
There are several infinite series. To find PI to x digits, evaluate each term to x+2 digits until the value is 0. Then round to x digits.
Since the numbers have the same number of digits, just compare the digits one at a time, from left to right, until you find one digit that is greater in one number than in the other.

I could be wrong. But my son had the same problem I think you subtract both numbers to get the answer
Well, honey, to find the value of the change from 45289 to 45889, you just need to compare the digits place by place. The only digit that changed is in the hundreds place, so the value of the change is 500. It's as simple as that, darling.

That depends which of the digits you wish to find the place value of.
There are about 10-11 digits in a number

Find something to compare it with...
In general, to find the greatest of several positive numbers:First, you should look which number has the most digits.If two numbers have the same amount of digits, compare the first digit from the left. If those to are the same, compare the next digit - and continue that way until you find two digits that are different.
A positive number is greater than a negative number. If both numbers are positive, the longer number - the one with more digits - is larger. If both have the same number of digits, compare the digits from the left, one at a time until you find one that is different. The one with the larger digit in this last comparison is the larger number.
