This phrase generally means that the construction of an entity is more important than the individual pieces of the entity on their own. For instance:
Lets say the human body is composed of bones, muscle and organs. Now individually, a spleen or a bicep can't do much. But if you put all of it together, you get a body that is capable of walking, talking, breathing, creating and inventing...the sum of which has the capacity to do far more than a pile of bones and muscle can.

Which is greater 0.04 or 0.4 explain?
0.4 is greater. Four parts out of ten is greater than four parts out of 100.
What is greater out 5.5 or 6.5?
In mathematics, when comparing two numbers, the greater number is the one with the larger value. In this case, 6.5 is greater than 5.5. This can be determined by looking at the whole number part first, which is 6 in both cases, and then comparing the decimal parts. Since 0.5 is greater than 0.0, 6.5 is the greater number.
