Question

Compare each pair of numbers using $\text{'}<,>\text{'}or\text{'}=\text{'}.$

$9874\underline{\_\_\_}3120$

Answer 1

In order to compare numbers, the number with more digits is always greater than the number with less number of digits and if the two numbers have same number of digits, we compare from the left most place until there are unequal digits.

Here, the left most digit of $9874$ is $9$ and of $3120$is $3$.

As $9>3$

Therefore, $9874>3120$
