Comparing Like Fractions
Like fractions are fractions with the same denominator.
They are the parts of wholes with the same number of divisions.
How do you compare like fractions?
Like fractions have the same denominator.
Each whole has the same number of parts.
To compare like fractions, we only compare the numerators.
For Example,
2/6 & 1/6
2/6 shows 2 parts out of 6 total parts.
1/6 shows 1 part out of 6 total parts.
- We can easily understand that 2 parts > 1 part.
- 2/6 is greater than 1/6.
Remember:
- While comparing like fractions, we only compare numerators.
- Larger the numerator, greater the fraction is.

Ordering Like Fractions
Ordering like fractions is the same as ordering numbers.
We compare the numerators of like fractions only.
For Example,
2/5, 3/5, 1/5
The denominator of all the three fractions is same.
Let’s compare numerators.
1<2<3
therefore, 1/5<2/5<3/5
