To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The problem gives us two numbers, 150,800 and 158,000. We will compare the digits from left to right.
- Start with the hundred thousand digits:
The digit in the hundred thousand place for both numbers is 1, which are equal. So, we continue to the next place.
- Next, compare the ten thousand digits:
150,800 has 5 in the ten thousand place and 158,000 has 5 as well. They are equal, so we move to the next digit.
- Now, compare the thousand digits:
150,800 has 0 in the thousand place, while 158,000 has 8.
Since 0 is less than 8, 150,800 is less than 158,000.
Therefore, the correct sign to use is , indicating that 150,800 is less than 158,000.
The solution to the problem is .

Keep going right! When digits in the same place value are equal (like the 1 and 5 in both numbers), move to the next place value. The first different digit determines which number is larger.
Think of the inequality sign as a hungry mouth - it always opens toward the larger number. So shows the mouth opening to eat the bigger number!
No! Commas are just for easier reading. Whether you write 150,800 or 150800, the value is exactly the same. Focus on the digit positions, not the commas.
The number with more digits is usually larger (like 1,000 > 999). But when both numbers have the same number of digits, compare place by place from left to right.
