Comparing Fractions

If the denominators of two fractions are same, the fraction with larger numerator is greater.

 

For example: Let’s compare the fractions
7 9
and
2 9
.

 

Both the fractions have same denominators.

 

So, just compare the numerators 7 and 2.

 

Since 7 > 2,

 

So, 
7
9
>
2
9
.

 

If the numerators of two fractions are the same, the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater.

 

For example: Let’s compare the fractions
4 5
and
4 7
.

 

Both the fractions have same numerator.

 

So, just compare the denominators 5 and 7.

 

Since 5 < 7,
 

So, 
4
5
>
4
7
.
