Step-by-step solution for: Comparing and Ordering Numbers - Common Core - 4th grade - Place Value
Let's solve each problem step by step from the worksheet titled "Compare and Order – Whole Number Practice".
---
We compare two numbers and determine which is greater, smaller, or if they are equal.
1.) 28,940 ___ 28,904
- Compare digit by digit:
- 28,940 vs 28,904
- First three digits (28,9) are same
- Fourth digit: 4 vs 0 → 4 > 0
→ So, 28,940 > 28,904
2.) 79,112 ___ 79,211
- First two digits: 79 same
- Third digit: 1 vs 2 → 1 < 2
→ So, 79,112 < 79,211
3.) 45,891 ___ 54,891
- First digit: 4 vs 5 → 4 < 5
→ So, 45,891 < 54,891
4.) 80,020 ___ 80,002
- First three digits: 80,0 same
- Fourth digit: 2 vs 0 → 2 > 0
→ So, 80,020 > 80,002
5.) 256,025 ___ 256,025
- Same number → =
6.) 621,438 ___ 99,999
- 621,438 has more digits than 99,999 → larger
→ 621,438 > 99,999
7.) 809,100 ___ 809,010
- First four digits: 809,1 vs 809,0 → 1 > 0
→ So, 809,100 > 809,010
8.) 29,867 ___ 100,000
- 29,867 has fewer digits → smaller
→ 29,867 < 100,000
9.) 999,009 ___ 999,090
- First five digits: 999,0 same
- Sixth digit: 9 vs 9 → same
- Seventh digit: 0 vs 0 → same
- Wait: 999,009 vs 999,090
- Let's align:
- 999,009
- 999,090
- Compare from left: all digits same until last two:
- 00 vs 90 → 00 < 90
→ So, 999,009 < 999,090
10.) 335,427 ___ 335,428
- All digits same except last one: 7 vs 8 → 7 < 8
→ So, 335,427 < 335,428
---
11.) 32,201; 31,210; 32,102
- Compare:
- 31,210 (smallest — first digit 3, second digit 1)
- 32,102 (next — 32, then 102)
- 32,201 (largest — 32, then 201)
→ Order: 31,210; 32,102; 32,201
12.) 441,025; 441,205; 439,250
- 439,250 (smallest — starts with 439)
- Then 441,025 (starts with 441, then 025)
- Then 441,205 (same prefix, but 205 > 025)
→ Order: 439,250; 441,025; 441,205
---
13.) 62,875; 62,576; 62,785
- All start with 62, so compare next digits:
- 62,875 → 8 in third place
- 62,785 → 7 in third place
- 62,576 → 5 in third place
So:
- 62,875 (highest)
- 62,785
- 62,576
→ Order: 62,875; 62,785; 62,576
14.) 331,754; 332,457; 331,547
- 332,457 (has 332 → largest)
- 331,754 vs 331,547 → both start with 331
- 754 vs 547 → 754 > 547
So:
- 332,457
- 331,754
- 331,547
→ Order: 332,457; 331,754; 331,547

Part 1: Compare. Use <, >, or =.
We compare two numbers and determine which is greater, smaller, or if they are equal.
1.) 28,940 ___ 28,904
- Compare digit by digit:
- 28,940 vs 28,904
- First three digits (28,9) are same
- Fourth digit: 4 vs 0 → 4 > 0
→ So, 28,940 > 28,904
2.) 79,112 ___ 79,211

- Third digit: 1 vs 2 → 1 < 2
→ So, 79,112 < 79,211
3.) 45,891 ___ 54,891
- First digit: 4 vs 5 → 4 < 5
→ So, 45,891 < 54,891
4.) 80,020 ___ 80,002
- First three digits: 80,0 same
- Fourth digit: 2 vs 0 → 2 > 0
→ So, 80,020 > 80,002
5.) 256,025 ___ 256,025
- Same number → =
6.) 621,438 ___ 99,999
- 621,438 has more digits than 99,999 → larger
→ 621,438 > 99,999
