Steps for showing how to compare multi-digit numbers
-
Comparing the multi-digit numbers
-
Compare the leftmost digits
(hundreds, tens, or ones) first.- When comparing 372 and 327,
start by comparing the leftmost digits: 3 and 3.
-
If the leftmost digits are equal,
move to the next
digit to the right and compare again.- Since they are equal,
move to the next digit: 7 and 2.
-
Continue comparing digits from
left to right until you find a difference or
determine that the numbers are equal.- Here, 7 is greater than 2.
-
Use comparison symbols (<, >, or =)
to record the results of comparisons.- So, 372 > 327
