Comparing Numbers

The document discusses comparing numbers and using comparison symbols like greater than (>), less than (<), and equals (=). It provides examples of comparing two numbers and identifying which number is greater than, less than, or equal to the other number. The key points are that the greater than symbol (>) is used when the first number is larger, less than (<) is used when the first number is smaller, and equals (=) is used when the two numbers are equal.
