Problem Description:

The task is to compare pairs of numbers in each row and determine whether the first number is less than (`<`), greater than (`>`), or equal to (`=`) the second number. The results should be written in the middle column.

Solution Approach:

1. Understand the Comparison Symbols:
- `<` means "less than."
- `>` means "greater than."
- `=` means "equal to."

2. Compare Each Pair of Numbers:
- For each row, compare the number on the left with the number on the right.
- Write the appropriate symbol (`<`, `>`, or `=`) in the middle column.

3. Step-by-Step Comparisons:

#### Left Column:
| Row | Number 1 | Number 2 | Comparison |
|-----|----------|----------|------------|
| 1 | 275 | 228 | 275 > 228 |
| 2 | 808 | 880 | 808 < 880 |
| 3 | 534 | 534 | 534 = 534 |
| 4 | 126 | 100 | 126 > 100 |
| 5 | 756 | 765 | 756 < 765 |
| 6 | 422 | 244 | 422 > 244 |
| 7 | 176 | 167 | 176 > 167 |
| 8 | 384 | 843 | 384 < 843 |
| 9 | 675 | 765 | 675 < 765 |
| 10 | 465 | 465 | 465 = 465 |

#### Right Column:
| Row | Number 1 | Number 2 | Comparison |
|-----|----------|----------|------------|
| 1 | 763 | 736 | 763 > 736 |
| 2 | 442 | 624 | 442 < 624 |
| 3 | 157 | 175 | 157 < 175 |
| 4 | 852 | 825 | 852 > 825 |
| 5 | 497 | 497 | 497 = 497 |
| 6 | 902 | 920 | 902 < 920 |
| 7 | 724 | 713 | 724 > 713 |
| 8 | 273 | 273 | 273 = 273 |
| 9 | 675 | 657 | 675 > 657 |
| 10 | 143 | 413 | 143 < 413 |

Final Answer:

Here are the comparisons filled in for both columns:

#### Left Column:
| Row | Number 1 | Number 2 | Comparison |
|-----|----------|----------|------------|
| 1 | 275 | 228 | > |
| 2 | 808 | 880 | < |
| 3 | 534 | 534 | = |

| 8 | 384 | 843 | < |
| 9 | 675 | 765 | < |
| 10 | 465 | 465 | = |

#### Right Column:
| Row | Number 1 | Number 2 | Comparison |
|-----|----------|----------|------------|
| 1 | 763 | 736 | > |
| 2 | 442 | 624 | < |
| 3 | 157 | 175 | < |
