Understanding Fraction Comparison

Comparing fractions is a fundamental skill in mathematics. There are several methods to compare fractions: converting to common denominators, converting to decimals, or using cross multiplication. Understanding these methods helps develop number sense and mathematical reasoning.

Common Denominator Method

Find the least common multiple of denominators, then compare numerators. This method preserves the fractional form.

Decimal Conversion

Convert fractions to decimal form by dividing numerator by denominator. Easy to compare but may lose precision.

Cross Multiplication

For fractions a/b and c/d, compare a×d with b×c. Quick method that works without finding common denominators.
