The question is basically meaningless. It's like asking "Why is 2 more than 1 ?"

Here are a couple of ways you can tell which one is greater:

- 1.23 has something before the decimal point, so it's more than ' 1 '.

But 0.123 has nothing before the decimal point, so it's less than ' 1 '.

So 1.23 must be bigger.

- If you divide 1.23 by 0.123 , you get 10.

That's how many times 0.123 can go into 1.23, so 1.23 must be bigger.
