Compare the fractions

4,096/16

and

5,556/57

Given Fractions:   and
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 16 and 57:
LCD = LCM(16, 57) = 912
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (912):
=   and   = Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:
233,472 is greater than 88,896  (233,472 > 88,896)
As a result,    is greater than Therefore,
