Mammoth Memory

Less than or greater than numbers

First method, how to remember.

Less than is <    greater than is >

Less than is < and greater than is >

This looks like an L that's been bent in a breeze. It stands for LESS THAN an L. Therefore > (the other one) must mean greater than.

 

Example 1

 15<20

This means 15 is less than 20.

 

Example 2

 10>6 

This means 10 is greater than 6.

 

Example 3

 x>6

This means X is greater than 6.
