Think about a circle. If you divide it into six equal parts, each part is 1/6 of the circle. Now think about a circle that is identical to the first. If you divide that one into eight equal parts, each part is 1/8 of the circle. If you compare the two divided circles, you will see that the 1/8 pieces must be smaller than the 1/6 pieces, because eight pieces are filling the same space as six pieces. Draw this out on paper to prove this to yourself if need be.

What is greater 1sixth or 1 eighth?
The greater the denominator the smaller its value. Since eight is greater than six the value of 1eighth is lesser than 1 sixth. Another way of saying, 1 eighth is nothing but dividing 1 into eight equal parts and 1 sixth is dividing into six equal parts. Obviously the 1 sixth part will be greater than one eighth. For eg. if you share a cake equally with eight friends, the slice be will smaller than when you share equally with six friends.
