Remember the signs for greater than, less than and equal to. They
look like this:
greater than >
less than <
and equal to =
Look at the numbers 546 and 645. Which number is greater?
645 is greater than 546. Look at the digits in the hundreds place. The 6
is greater than the 5, therefore 645 > 546.
If the digits in the hundreds place are the same 456 and 467, then you look at the
tens place. So 467 > 456 because 6 is greater than 5.
If the digits in the tens place are the same 331 and 336, then you look at the ones
place. So 333 > 331 because 3 is greater than 1.
Practice comparing three-digit numbers.
Fill in the boxes with < > or =.
