here's the easiest way to remember:
Make an "L" shape using your left thumb and left pointer finger. Notice how it makes an "L" shape? That's the symbol for less than. "L" for Less then.
The greater then sign is a backwards "L" shape.

The part that's greater is the side of the equation with the wide open "mouth" and the part that's lesser is the side with the point.
If that make sense.

The easiest way this can be remembered is to use the letter "L". The Less Than symbol (<) always points to the Left.

Greater Than >
Less than <
1 < 2 (1 less than 2)
2 > 1 (2 greater than 1)

Math equation is like an English sentence...read from left to right.
The open part is always facing the bigger number.
Therefore... 1 < 2 ( less than )
2 > 1 ( greater than )

7 > 3 (7 is greater than 3)
2 < 5 (2 is less than 5)

the open side should always face the greater number
18>2
5<10
52,066>25

< means that the number on the left is smaller than the one on the right
> means that the number on the left is larger than the one on the right
note: the number beside the opening is always larger than the number by the closed side of the < or > symbol
