Less Than

In math, "less than" (<) is used to compare two numbers. It shows that the number on the left is smaller than the number on the right.

For example, 3 < 5 means "3 is less than 5".

When comparing numbers, the smaller number always goes on the left side of the "<" symbol.

Here are a few examples:

• 2 < 7 (2 is less than 7)
• 10 < 15 (10 is less than 15)
• 4 < 4 (4 is not less than 4, they are equal)
