Question

Fill in the blank with the right option:
58,001 ___ 58,011

• A. <
• B. >
• C. =
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

<

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}Tth& Th& H& T& O& & Tth& Th& H& T& O\\ 5& 8& 0& 0& 1& & 5& 8& 0& 1& 1\end{array}$

We start comparing the digits from the highest place value. In the case of 26,741 and 26,735, it is ten thousands.
Ten-Thousands place: 5 = 5
Thousands place: 8 = 8
Hundreds place: 0 = 0
Tens: 0 < 1
Since the digit in tens place of 58,011 is greater than the digit in tens place of 58,001.

$\therefore$ 58,001 < 58,011
