Is 2 thirds bigger than 1 Fourth?

Is 2/3 greater than 1/4? Is 2/3 bigger than 1/4? Is 2/3 larger than 1/4? These are all the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

2/3 = 0.667
1/4 = 0.25

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.
0.667 is greater than 0.25.

Therefore, 2/3 is greater than 1/4 and the answer to the question "Is 2/3 greater than 1/4?" is yes.

Which means that this equation is also true: 2/3 > 1/4

Note: When comparing fractions such as 2/3 and 1/4, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.

Is 1/4 greater than 2/3? Is 1/4 bigger than 2/3? Is 1/4 larger than 2/3? These are all the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

1/4 = 0.25
2/3 = 0.667

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.
0.25 is not greater than 0.667.

Therefore, 1/4 is not greater than 2/3 and the answer to the question "Is 1/4 greater than 2/3?" is no.

Which means that this equation is also true: 1/4 < 2/3

Note: When comparing fractions such as 1/4 and 2/3, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.

Pre-Algebra Examples

Step 1

When comparing two fractions, the denominator of the first fraction must be equal to the denominator of the second fraction. In this case, the two denominators are different, which make and unlike fractions. The first step is finding the least common denominator (LCD) for both fractions and .

To find the LCD of a set of numbers , find the LCM of the denominators.

Calculate the LCM of first two denominators in the list, and .

Find the values of the numerical part of each term. Select the largest one, which in this case is . Multiply them together to get the current total. In this case, the current total is .

Current Total =

Multiply the numeric part of the denominators together.

Current Total =

Multiply the numeric part of the denominators together.

Current Total =

Check each value in the numerical part of each term against the current total. Since the current total is evenly divisible, return it. That is the least common denominator of the numerical part of the fraction.

Step 2

The denominators can be made equal by finding the least common denominator (LCD), which is in this case. Next, multiply each fraction by a factor of that will create the LCD in each of the fractions.

Step 4

The numerator of the first fraction is greater than the numerator of the second fraction , which means that the first fraction is greater than the second fraction and that is greater than .

2/3 is greater than 1/4

Steps for comparing fractions

1. Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
   LCM of 3 and 4 is 12

   Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 12

2. For the 1st fraction, since 3 × 4 = 12,
   2/3 = 2 × 4/3 × 4 = 8/12
3. Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 4 × 3 = 12,
   1/4 = 1 × 3/4 × 3 = 3/12
4. Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
5. 8/12 > 3/12 or 2/3 > 1/4
