Comparing 5 and 6 Digit Numbers Challenge

Understanding Place Value

Digits in a number represent different place values, such as ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, and hundred thousands.

Comparing with Symbols

Use the symbols <, >, and = to compare numbers. The symbol < means less than, > means greater than, and = means equal to.

Example: Comparing 5-Digit Numbers

Compare 45,678 and 56,789. Identify the place value of each digit and use the comparison symbols to determine the relationship between the two numbers.
