In mathematics, when comparing two numbers with the same sign, the number with the greater absolute value is considered greater. In this case, -4 has a greater absolute value than -8 because it is closer to zero on the number line. Therefore, -4 is greater than -8.

Oh, dude, it's like when you owe $4, it's better than owing $8. So, technically, -4 is greater than -8. But hey, either way, you're still in debt, right?

Well, sweetie, in the world of numbers, the further left you go on the number line, the smaller the number gets. So, in this case, -4 is greater than -8. It's basic math, darling.
