3/7
is smaller than
5/8
Steps for comparing fractions
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 7 and 8 is 56
For the 1st fraction, since 7 × 8 = 56,
3/7= 3 × 8/7 × 8
= 24/56
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 8 × 7 = 56,
5/8
=
5 × 7/8 × 7 = 35/56
Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
24/56< 35/56
or
3/7 < 5/8.
