To compare numbers using the greater than ( "> > ) and less than ( < ) symbols, we need to look at the size of each number. Let's list the given numbers in order from smallest to largest and compare them:
202,354
1,502,236
2,910,230
3,154,125
5,720,106
6,018,115
40,205,209
Now, let's write comparisons between each consecutive pair of numbers using < or "> > :
202 , 354 < 1 , 502 , 236
1 , 502 , 236 < 2 , 910 , 230
2 , 910 , 230 < 3 , 154 , 125
3 , 154 , 125 < 5 , 720 , 106
5 , 720 , 106 < 6 , 018 , 115
6 , 018 , 115 < 40 , 205 , 209
These comparisons show that as the numbers increase from left to right, each number is smaller than the one that follows it when ordered in ascending order.
