How to compare fractions

To compare fractions, convert them to the same denominator or convert to decimals. The fraction with the larger numerator (same denominator) or larger decimal value is bigger.

Example: 3/4 vs 2/3 - convert to decimals: 0.75 vs 0.667, so 3/4 is larger.

Using the calculator

Enter two fractions and the calculator instantly shows which is larger. The larger fraction is highlighted in green. Use the mode buttons to switch to arithmetic, simplify, or equivalent fractions.
