Comparing Two Numbers Worksheet with 20 problems requiring students to use <, >, or = signs to compare numbers.

Let's solve each problem in the "Comparing Two Numbers Worksheet" step by step. We will use the symbols:

- `<` (less than)
- `>` (greater than)
- `=` (equal to)

We compare numbers digit by digit from left to right, starting with the highest place value.

1) 15 341 < 15 349

✔ Already given as an example.
Both numbers start with 15, then 341 vs 349 → 341 < 349 → So, <

---

2) 32 420 □ 42 399

Compare:
- First number: 32,420
- Second number: 42,399
Leftmost digits: 3 vs 4 → 3 < 4 → So, 32,420 < 42,399
👉 <

---

3) 7 901 □ 7 910

Both start with 7,9 → Compare next digits:
- 7,901 vs 7,910
Look at tens place: 0 vs 1 → 0 < 1 → So, 7,901 < 7,910
👉 <

---

4) 12 351 □ 12 351

Same numbers → Equal
👉 =

---

5) 34 951 □ 86 212

First digits: 3 vs 8 → 3 < 8 → So, 34,951 < 86,212
👉 <

---

6) 44 406 □ 85 105

First digits: 4 vs 8 → 4 < 8 → So, 44,406 < 85,105
👉 <

---

7) 404 □ 639

First digits: 4 vs 6 → 4 < 6 → So, 404 < 639
👉 <

---

8) 243 □ 321

First digits: 2 vs 3 → 2 < 3 → So, 243 < 321
👉 <

---

9) 45 □ 405

Compare digits:
- 45 is two-digit, 405 is three-digit → More digits means larger number
So, 45 < 405
👉 <

---

10) 2 154 □ 21 054

- 2,154 vs 21,054
First number has 4 digits, second has 5 → So, 2,154 < 21,054
👉 <

---

11) 58 488 □ 58 488

Same numbers → Equal
👉 =

---

12) 4 850 □ 48 500

- 4,850 vs 48,500
4,850 has 4 digits, 48,500 has 5 → So, 4,850 < 48,500
👉 <

---

13) 56 112 □ 46 121

First digits: 5 vs 4 → 5 > 4 → So, 56,112 > 46,121
👉 >

---

14) 33 333 □ 33 033

Compare digit by digit:
- 33,333 vs 33,033
Thousands and hundreds are same (33), now look at tens:
- 333 vs 033 → 333 > 033 → So, 33,333 > 33,033
👉 >

---

15) 27 □ 207

27 is two-digit, 207 is three-digit → So, 27 < 207
👉 <

---

16) 64 776 □ 60 776

Compare:
- 64,776 vs 60,776
Thousands place: 64 vs 60 → 64 > 60 → So, 64,776 > 60,776
👉 >

---

17) 430 □ 403

Compare:
- Hundreds: both 4
- Tens: 3 vs 0 → 3 > 0 → So, 430 > 403
👉 >

---

18) 7 884 □ 7 884

Same numbers → Equal
👉 =

---

19) 442 □ 424

Hundreds: both 4
Tens: 4 vs 2 → 4 > 2 → So, 442 > 424
👉 >

---

20) 91 □ 19

- 91 vs 19
Tens: 9 vs 1 → 9 > 1 → So, 91 > 19
👉 >

🔍 Summary of Comparison Rules:

- Start comparing from the leftmost digit.
- If digits differ at any place, the number with the larger digit is greater.
- If all digits are same → equal.
- A number with more digits is always larger than one with fewer digits (if they're positive).
