Compare the fractions
1/3
and
1/4

Given Fractions:  
1/3
and
1/4

Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 3 and 4:
LCD = LCM(3, 4) = 12
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (12):
1/3
=
4/12
  and  
1/4
=
3/12
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:
4 is greater than 3  (4 > 3)
As a result,  
4/12
  is greater than
3/12
Therefore,  
1/3
  is greater than
1/4
,  
1/3
>
1/4
