If two fractions with the same numerator but different denominators are to be compared, then the fraction with the smaller denominator is the greater of the two.
To compare unlike fractions, we first convert them into equivalent fractions. For example, to compare the following fractions ie.,
We find the common multiple of the denominators 6 and 8. 48 is a common multiple of 6 and 8.
24 is also a common multiple of 6 and 8. Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8 = 24
