They are of the same length (before the implicit decimal point) so the lengths of the numbers don't play a part.
In both cases, the first (left-most) digit is 9 - so no difference.
The second digit is 8 - so no difference.
The third digit is 9 - so still no difference.
The fourth digit is 9 in the first number and 8 in the second. So the first is greater.

Tell how you would decide if 9899989 is greater than or less than 9898998?
Look at the numbers starting with the first, then the second. They are the same 98. Look at the third numbers, they are the same 9. Then the fourth number, the first number has 9 and the second has an 8. So the first number is the greater. You can also subtract them and if you need to get a positive number, the top number is greater.
