To solve this problem, we'll compare the two given numbers and step by step:
Upon reaching the tens digit in the final position, 1 is less than 0, indicating that is less than .
Therefore, the appropriate sign to use is .
Therefore, .

Select the appropriate sign:
\( 24,909\Box24,990 \)
We start with the highest place value because it has the most impact on the number's size. The ten-thousands place is worth more than all other places combined!
Keep moving right until you find the first different digit. In 67,011 vs 67,100, we go: 6=6, 7=7, 0=0, 1=1, then 1 vs 0 in the ones place.
Yes, 1 > 0, but look at the whole numbers! 67,011 ends in "11" while 67,100 ends in "00". Since 11 < 100, we have 67,011 < 67,100.
Think about it practically: 67,100 is exactly 67 thousand and 100, while 67,011 is 67 thousand and 11. Since 100 > 11, clearly 67,100 > 67,011.
Use the "first difference wins" rule! Compare place by place from left to right, and the first place where digits differ tells you which number is larger.
