Of two natural numbers, the larger one matches the greater amount when you count.
On a coordinate ray, a number farther to the right is greater; farther left is smaller.
For written numerals, compare places from left to right: first the highest place; if equal, move to the next. If the numbers have different numbers of digits (no leading zeros), the one with the longer form is greater — its first nonzero digit sits farther left.
We record the result with < (less than), > (greater than), = (equal).
Greater is “farther right” on the coordinate ray
By digits: compare places from left to right
More digits in the usual form — usually a larger number
Signs <,>,= for the comparison result
On the ray: farther right is greater
