If both fractions are made up of positive integers then the easiest method is to cross-multiply.

If you want to compare A/B and C/D

look at AD and CB

If AD > CB then the fraction with A in it ie A/B is bigger.

If CB > AD then the fraction with C in it ie C/D is bigger.

If AD = BC, the two fractions are equal.

Is a fraction greater than a negative number?

Oh, what a happy little question! You see, when comparing a fraction to a negative number, it all depends on the values involved. Sometimes a fraction can be greater than a negative number, and sometimes it can be less. Just remember to embrace the beauty of math and let the numbers dance together in harmony.


What are improper fractions?

An improper fraction is a fraction with the numerator (the top number) being higher than the denominator (the bottom number). For example, 13/5 is an improper fraction because the top number is greater than the bottom number. To change it to a mixed number (which is a number with a fraction and a whole number), you divide the numerator by the denominator, which = 23/5

When one factor in multiplication is greater than one is the product greater or less than the other factor?

The terms (factors) used in multiplication are the multiplicand (the factor being multiplied), the multiplier (the factor that the multiplicand is multiplied by) and the product (the answer, or results of the multiplication). Any time either of the factors is greater than the other by at least one, the product will always be greater than the largest factor.
