Comparing fractions are very easy to learn. Here are the steps to making sure you don't fail at this easy concept.



  1. 1
    Groom up your fractions. The purpose is to have all the fractions listed as proper or improper fractions (no mixed fractions) and with all the denominators positive.
  2. 2
    Check the denominators. To order the fractions in increasing or decreasing order we need their denominators to be same.
  3. 3
    Order the fractions. Now that the denominators are all same, we can arrange the fractions in the desired order. The fraction having the largest numerator is the largest and the one having the least numerator is the least.
  4. 4
    Finished! If you wish you may write each of the fractions in their original form.


  • When finding the GCF, just multiply the two denominators to get the denominator and then compare or order them.
