Question

Which decimal number is greater?

$22.323$ or $22.332$

Answer 1

Comparing the decimals

We have, $22.323$ and $22.332$

While comparing two decimal numbers, the decimal number with the greater whole part will be greater and if the whole parts are the same, then beginning from the tenth place, the decimal fraction with the greater digit in the same place will be greater.

Here, the whole parts are the same and the tenth place digits are also the same.

Now when we compare the hundredth place digits, we find they are different i.e $2$ and $3$

Since the hundredth place is having the greater digit in $22.332$

Therefore, $22.323<22.332$

Hence, $22.332$ is greater.
