The Smallest Number with negative sigh is always bigger.

The relationship between negative numbers, positive numbers, and zero is often expressed in the form of a

number line:

see attachment

Numbers appearing farther to the right on this line are greater, while numbers appearing farther to the left are less. Thus zero appears in the middle, with the positive numbers to the right and the negative numbers to the left.

Note that a negative number with greater magnitude is considered less. For example, even though (positive) 8 is greater than (positive) 5, written

8 > 5

negative 8 is considered to be less than negative 5:

−8 < −5.

(Because, for example, if you have £-8, a debt of £8, you would have less after adding, say £10, to it than if you have £-5.) It follows that any negative number is less than any positive number, so

−8 < 5 and −5 < 8.

−8 < 5 and −5 < 8.Signed numbers
