🔍 Explanation:
To compare numbers:
1. Start from the
leftmost digit.
2. Compare digits in the same place value.
3. The number with the larger digit in the highest place value is greater.
4. If all digits are the same, the numbers are equal.
For example:
- In
A: 7,918 vs 8,236 → thousands place: 7 vs 8 → 7 < 8 → so 7,918 < 8,236
- In
F: both numbers are identical → equal
This method works for all cases.
