- 9/12 < 10/12 or 3/4 < 5/6
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 4 and 6 is 12
Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 12
For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 3 = 12, 3/4 = 3 × 3/4 × 3 = 9/12
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 6 × 2 = 12, 5/6 = 5 × 2/6 × 2 = 10/12
Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction 9/12 < 10/12 or 3/4 < 5/6
