Finding greater decimal (Comparing Decimals) Let’s learn this by examples Compare 42.875 & 423.95 Comparing digits before decimal points 42 < 423 So, 42.875 < 423.95 First of all, we compare the numbers before decimal points. If they are less than or greater than, Then the numbers are also less than or greater than But…. What if the numbers before Decimal points are equal? Compare 23.75 & 23.89 Comparing digits before decimal point 23 = 23 So, we compare digits after decimal point 7 < 8 So, 23.75 < 23.89 Let’s take another example Compare 4.08 & 4.076 Here, number of digits of 4.08 and 4.076 is not same Writing 4.08 = 4.080 So, we need to compare 4.080 & 4.076 Comparing digits before decimal point 4 = 4 So, we compare digits after decimal point So we compare the next digit 8 > 7 So, 4.08 > 4.076
