Align the numbers according their place values. Go from left to right (decreasing place values) until the face values of the numbers are different. Then the number with the larger face value in that place is the larger number.

Each position has a place-value that is 10 times as much as the position that is one to the right of it; or 1/10 as much as the position that is one to the left of it.The starting point is that the right-most digit in a whole number, or of the whole part in a number with decimals, has a place-value of 1.
