Question

Find the greatest and the smallest number from the set $4356,4982,4270,4451$.

Answer 1

Step 1. Count the digit of the number

Here each number has $4$-digit.So we can not identify which number is greater and smaller.

Step 2. Compare the the numbers having same digit.

• Here the numbers $4356$, $4982$,$4270$and $4451$ have same $4$-digit .

So we have to compare digits at higher places

In all the numbers , $4$ is at higher place

And $3,9,2,4$ at the second higher place of the numbers $4356,4982,4270,4451$ respectively

As $9>4>3>2$

Hence the greatest number is $4982$ and smallest number is $4270$.
