How do you decide which two numbers is greater?
A positive number is greater than a negative number. If a positive number is greater than another, the corresponding negative numbers are smaller. For example, since 4 > 3, -4 < -3. For two positive numbers: The number with more digits is greater. If they have the same number of digits, the number with the greater first digit is greater. If they are equal, look at the second digit, which will decide which number is greater, and so forth, up to the last digit. For example, 12500 is greater than 12480: they have the same number of digits, the first two digits are the same, but the third digit is the tie-breaker. For numbers with decimals, first apply the rules above for the whole part. If they are equal, check the first digit after the decimal point, then the second, etc., until you find a "tie-breaker". For example, 0.2522 is more than 0.2517. Once again, the first two digits are the same, the third is the tiebreaker.
Why is the number with the most digits always the greatest?
It's not.4.11 is less than 4.2, even though it has more digits than 4.2 has.
A number with one are more digits to the right?
answer
Is 2.5 greater than 5?
No, 2.5 is not greater than 5. In the decimal number system, the placement of the decimal point is crucial in determining the value of a number. When comparing numbers, the digit to the left of the decimal point holds more weight than the digits to the right. In this case, 5 is greater than 2.5 because 5 is a whole number and 2.5 is a decimal number less than 5.
0 and 7 which is greater?
The number 7 is greater that the number 0. The number seven has more value.
