Question

Rewrite each of the following in the decreasing order of the numbers.

$5304,52034,52340,52403,52430$

Answer 1

Arrange the given numbers in the decreasing order:

Rule 1- A numeral containing more digits represents a greater number

Rule 2- If the two numerals contain the same number of digits, we compare them by their left most digit. if the left most digits are also same, we compare them by their next digits from the left, and so on.

In this question all the numerals have same number of digits except $5304$, also the two left most digits of remaining numbers are same.

Now comparing the third left most digit we get-

$4>3>0$

Therefore, $52430,52403>52340>52034$

Now if we the fourth left most digits of $52430$ and $52403$

$3>0$

$\Rightarrow 52430>52403$

Hence, the final arrangement will be $52430>52403>52340>52034>5304$.
