Comparing 6-Digit Numbers worksheet for math practice.

Let’s work through each part of the worksheet step by step.

---

Part A: Compare each pair using >, <, or =

We compare digits from left to right (hundred thousands → ten thousands → thousands → hundreds → tens → ones).

1) 214,231 vs 114,231
→ First digit: 2 vs 1 → 2 is bigger → so 214,231 > 114,231
✔ Answer: >

2) 815,989 vs 995,998
→ First digit: 8 vs 9 → 9 is bigger → so 815,989 < 995,998
✔ Answer: <

3) 629,357 vs 629,357
→ All digits are same → equal
✔ Answer: =

4) 369,523 vs 369,253
→ First three digits same: 369
→ Next digit: 5 vs 2 → 5 is bigger → so 369,523 > 369,253
✔ Answer: >

5) 425,743 vs 452,743
→ First digit same: 4
→ Second digit: 2 vs 5 → 5 is bigger → so 425,743 < 452,743
✔ Answer: <

6) 736,258 vs 736,258
→ Exactly the same → equal
✔ Answer: =

Part B: Circle the largest number in each set

We look for the biggest number by comparing digit by digit from left.

1) 206,750 , 306,956 , 216,851
→ Look at hundred thousands: 2, 3, 2 → 3 is biggest → 306,956 is largest
✔ Answer: 306,956

2) 872,260 , 781,420 , 871,240
→ Hundred thousands: 8, 7, 8 → ignore 781,420
→ Compare 872,260 and 871,240 → next digit: 7 vs 7 → same → next: 2 vs 1 → 2 is bigger → 872,260 wins
✔ Answer: 872,260

3) 612,142 , 602,142 , 632,142
→ Hundred thousands all 6 → look at ten thousands: 1, 0, 3 → 3 is biggest → 632,142
✔ Answer: 632,142

4) 997,348 , 997,346 , 997,344
→ First five digits same: 99734 → last digit: 8, 6, 4 → 8 is biggest → 997,348
✔ Answer: 997,348

---

Part C: Circle the smallest number in each set

Look for the smallest by comparing left to right.

1) 761,444 , 860,454 , 961,404
→ Hundred thousands: 7, 8, 9 → 7 is smallest → 761,444
✔ Answer: 761,444

2) 315,254 , 315,253 , 315,260
→ First five digits same: 31525 → last digit: 4, 3, 0 → wait, let’s check carefully:

Actually:
- 315,254
- 315,253 ← this one ends with 3
- 315,260 ← ends with 0? No — 260 means hundreds digit is 2, tens is 6, ones is 0 → but we’re comparing full numbers.

Better to write them aligned:

315,254
315,253
315,260

Compare digit by digit:

All start with 315,2 → then next digit (tens place):

- 315,254 → tens digit is 5
- 315,253 → tens digit is 5
- 315,260 → tens digit is 6 → so 260 is bigger than 25x

Now between 315,254 and 315,253 → only difference is ones digit: 4 vs 3 → 3 is smaller → so 315,253 is smallest
✔ Answer: 315,253

3) 535,632 , 435,263 , 455,326
→ Hundred thousands: 5, 4, 4 → 5 is biggest, so ignore 535,632
→ Now compare 435,263 and 455,326 → ten thousands: 3 vs 5 → 3 is smaller → 435,263
✔ Answer: 435,263

4) 146,547 , 143,547 , 141,547
→ Hundred thousands and ten thousands same: 14_
→ Thousands digit: 6, 3, 1 → 1 is smallest → 141,547
✔ Answer: 141,547
