Tips for Comparing Whole Numbers
A number with more digits is larger: any 6-digit number, for example, will be bigger than any 5-digit number.
For numbers with the same amount of digits, the columns with bigger place values matter most of all. Start on the left!
If the left-most digit is a tie, check the next digit to the right!
