The mathematical symbol for 'less than' is < and for 'greater than' is >
On the keyboard, < is found over the comma, while > is found over the period, or full stop.
One way to remember which way the symbols go is this:
BIGGER > smaller
smaller < BIGGER
or
2 > 1 (2 is greater than 1)
1 < 2 (1 is less than 2)
