Greater than has the symbol ">" which means whatever the first value is is larger than the second value.
Examples:
"3 is greater than 1.2" would be written like this:
3 > 1.2
and would be a true statement since 3 is larger than 1.2.
"3 is greater than 4.2" would be written like this:
3 > 4.2
and would not be a true statement since 3 is not larger than 4.2.

A number by itself is meaningless. Symbols and labels add meaning in math. Symbols in math are used to represent different operations, and/or add descriptions. There are many different symbols each which have their own purpose. Some symbols have different purposes in different types of math.
Dr John Math is not a real person. A lot of math symbols come from the greek.
Because the difference between 100,000,000 and -100,000,000 is greater than a hyphen. Mathematical sentences without symbols would be as nonsensical as regular sentences without verbs: they tell you what to do.
egyptians use symbols as we use numbers.they still are using symbols for math at this very day!
