Comparing Three-Digit Numbers: Greater, Less, or Equal

Introduction
In Grade 4, we learn how to compare numbers to see which is greater, less, or if they are equal. Today, we’re going to focus on comparing three-digit numbers. We’ll use symbols to make this easier:

> means “greater than” (bigger)
< means “less than” (smaller)
= means “equal to” (the same)

Let’s look at some examples to see how it works!

Example 1: Greater Than (>)

Look at these numbers: 456 and 324.
We compare the hundreds place first. The hundreds place of 456 is 4, and the hundreds place of 324 is 3. Since 4 is greater than 3, we know that 456 is greater than 324.

So, we write:
456 > 324

Example 2: Less Than (<)

Now, compare 238 and 490.
We check the hundreds place again. The hundreds place of 238 is 2, and the hundreds place of 490 is 4. Since 2 is less than 4, we know that 238 is less than 490.

So, we write:
238 < 490

Example 3: Equal To (=)

What about 672 and 672?
Here, we see that both numbers are exactly the same! The hundreds, tens, and ones places are all the same.

So, we write:
672 = 672
