🎬 Video Tutorial

  • (0:01) Comparing Fractions with the Same Denominator: The fraction with the larger numerator is greater (e.g., 5/8 $>$ 3/8).
  • (0:22) Comparing Fractions with the Same Numerator: The fraction with the smaller denominator is greater because each part is larger (e.g., 4/5 $>$ 4/9).
  • (0:48) The Common Denominator Method: For fractions with different numerators and denominators, find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators (e.g., 5/6 $>$ 7/10).
  • (2:22) Multiples and Prime Numbers in Comparison: If denominators have no common factors, multiply them directly to find the LCM, then adjust both fractions to compare (e.g., 4/11 vs. 5/12).
