Numbers are separated into groups: ones, tens, hundreds,
thousands, millions, and so on. Each group contains three subgroups: ones,
tens, and hundreds. When writing or reading a large number, begin at the left
with the largest group, and proceed to the right. For instance, 7,482 is read
as seven thousand, four hundred, eighty-two. The following chart can help in

How to Compare Two
Numbers?
When we compare two numbers, there are three
possibilities:
·
The first number is greater than the second (4 > 2).
·
The second number is greater than the first (2 < 3)
·
The two numbers are equal (6 = 6)
Example: Which number is smaller, 246 738
or 246 951?
Solution: Line up the digits.
Compare
the digits starting from the left. Find the first place that they differ In
this example, the digits in the hundreds place are not the same.7 is smaller
than 9.
So,
246 738 is smaller than 246 951.
In general terms, Ascending means smallest to largest, 0
to 9, and/or A to Z and Descending means largest to smallest, 9
to 0, and/or Z to A.
Ascending order means the smallest or first or earliest
in the order will appear at the top of the list:
·
For numbers or amounts, the sort is smallest
to largest. Lower numbers or amounts will be at the top of the list.
Descending order means the largest or last in the order
will appear at the top of the list:
·
For numbers or amounts, the sort is largest
to smallest. Higher numbers or amounts will be at the top of the list.
Compare the digits starting from the left. Find the first place that they differ In this example, the digits in the hundreds place are not the same.7 is smaller than 9.
Example: Arrange the following numbers in
increasing order 425 876, 425 987, 425 856
Solution: Line up the numbers vertically
Compare
the digits starting from the left.
Arranging
the numbers in increasing order, we get
425 856, 425 876, 425 987
