(1-4) Comparing Numbers.

To compare the numbers 12,340 and 12,670,

first, line up the digits of each number, then compare
starting from left.

Ten
thousands hundreds tens ones
thousands

1 2 3 4 0

1 2 6 7 0

In this case the ten thousand and the thousands digits are the

same. Therefore, look at the hundred place, since 3 hundred

is less than 6 hundred, so 12,340 is less than 12,670.

12,340 > 12,670

Put the correct sign in the box (> or < or =).
