Q1: Which is greater?

i. 537 > 98


ii. 2428 > 529


iii. 259467 < 1035729


iv. 63520 > 63250



Q2: Which is smaller?

i. 428 < 437


ii. 2497 < 2597


iii. 3297 < 3596


iv. 380362 < 381007



Q3: By making a suitable chart, compare :

i. 540276 and 369998

Compare the numbers using place value charts: 540276 and 369998
Step 1: Write both numbers in the place value chart

LakhTen ThousandThousandHundredTenOne
540276
369998
↑ First row = 540276 | Second row = 369998

Step 2: Compare digit by digit from left to right
Lakh place: First number has 5, Second has 3
Since 5 > 3, we can directly say:
Answer: 540276 > 369998

ii.6983245 and 6893254

Step 1: Write both numbers in the place value chart

Ten LakhLakhTen ThousandThousandHundredTenOne
6983245
6893254
↑ First row = 6983245 | Second row = 6893254

Step 2: Compare digit by digit from left to right
Ten Lakh place: Both numbers have 6 → Move to next place.
Lakh place: First number has 9, Second has 8.
Since 9 > 8, we can conclude:
Answer: 6983245 > 6893254


Q4: Compare the numbers written in the following table by writing them in ascending order :

Step 1: Write all numbers in a place value chart

CroreTen LakhLakhTen ThousandThousandHundredTenOne
5432972
23109293
5223791
23182634
54344782

Step 2: Compare digit by digit from the left (Crore place)
– 54344782 → Crore = 5
– 23182634 → Crore = 2
– 23109293 → Crore = 2
– 5432972 → No crore digit
– 5223791 → No crore digit
Clearly, 54344782 is the greatest number.

Step 3: Write the numbers in ascending and descending order
Ascending Order: 5223791 < 5432972 < 23109293 < 23182634 < 54344782

Descending Order: 54344782 > 23182634 > 23109293 > 5432972 > 5223791


Q5: Use a place value chart to compare the given numbers and write them in descending order :

Step 1: Write all numbers in a place value chart

Ten LakhLakhTen ThousandThousandHundredTenOne
543287
5482900
2732940
43877
78396
4999

Step 2: Compare numbers by highest place value
– 5482900 → 7-digit number (5 Ten Lakhs)
– 2732940 → 7-digit number (2 Ten Lakhs)
– 543287 → 6-digit number
– 78396 → 5-digit number
– 43877 → 5-digit number
– 4999 → 4-digit number
Clearly, 5482900 is the greatest and 4999 is the smallest.

Step 3: Final Descending Order
Answer: Descending Order: 5482900 > 2732940 > 543287 > 78396 > 43877 > 4999
