Greater Than
In math, "greater than" is a comparison between two numbers to determine which number is larger. The symbol used to represent "greater than" is >. When comparing two numbers, if the number on the left is greater than the number on the right, then it is written as:
Example: 5 > 3 (read as "5 is greater than 3")
Here are some examples to illustrate "greater than" using numbers:
- 4 > 2 (4 is greater than 2)
- 10 > 7 (10 is greater than 7)
- 25 > 25 (25 is not greater than 25, they are equal)
- -3 > -5 (-3 is greater than -5)
It is important to remember that the open end of the symbol always points to the larger number, and the closed end points to the smaller number.
