TO COMPARE FRACTIONS WE ALWAYS HAVE TO KEEP ONE THING IN MIND WHICH IS THAT THE DENOMINATORS OF THE FRACTIONS WE ARE COMPARING SHOULD BE THE SAME , IF THE DENOMINATORS ARE NOT SAME WE FIND OUT THEIR LCM SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THEIR LCM THE SAME
53 /8 AND 47 / 10 DO NOT HAVE THE SAME DENOMINATOR
LCM OF 8 , 10
2 8 , 10
2 4 , 5
2 2 , 5 SO WE GET THE LCM AS 40
5 1 , 5
0 0
NOW ,
53 / 8 * 5 / 5 = 265 / 40
47 / 10 * 4 / 4 = 188 / 40
SO NOW WE CAN COMPARE THE DIGITS AND THE RESULT COMES AS
53/8 IS GREATER THAN 47 / 10
