Comparing and Ordering Numbers

Let’s Learn
Let's compare the numbers.
(a) Compare the numbers 352,189 and 351,667.
Which number is greater?
Hundred Ten
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
Thousands Thousands

3 5 2 1 8 9
3 5 1 6 6 7

First, compare the values in the hundred thousands place.


The values in the hundred thousands place are the same.
Compare the values in the next place – ten thousands.
The values in the ten thousands place are the same.
Compare the values in the thousands place.
2 thousands is greater than 1 thousand.

So, 352,189 is greater than 351,667.

(b) Compare the numbers 522,165 and 522,775.

Hundred Ten
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
Thousands Thousands

5 2 2 1 6 5
5 2 2 7 7 5

The values in the hundred thousands, ten thousands and


thousands place are the same. Compare the values in the
hundreds place. 1 hundred is smaller than 7 hundreds.

522,165 < 522,775 522,775 > 522,165
