which one is greater? which one is lesser?

Question

< > Which one means greater? which one means lesser?
I need help please.
Which one is greater than and which one is lesser than?

Answer 1

> is greater than- as in "4>2" reads 'four is greater than 2"

< is less than

Think of the big mouth > gaping around the bigger number (the bigger side is the greater number)

good luck!

Answer 2

The "<" means lesser. Example: 3 + 2 < 8.

There's a mnemonic (memory aid) for remembering which way the symbol goes. The way I learned it (with appropriate illustration) was that an alligator, which is notoriously hungry, always wants to eat the larger number. The symbol, < or > , represents its mouth, with the wide end being the open jaw. The alligator should always face the larger number. I guess you can modernize it and simplify the drawing by calling it a hungry Pac-Man instead.

Answer 3

Read from left to right.

3 is less than 5.
3<5

5 is greater than 3
5>3

The less than has the point (small side of the figure) on the left.

The greater has the TWO points on the left. Two is greater than one. Just remember to read it as a sentence, left to right!

Very simple.

Answer 4

< means less than such as 4<5
> means greater than like 5>4
the point always points to the smaller number

Answer 5

>greater than

Answer 6

remember teh less than sign looks like an L on an angle <
