Given Fractions:
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 25 and 557:
LCD = LCM(25, 557) = 13,925
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (13,925):
125 is less than 12,811 (125 < 12,811)
As a result,
5/557
and 23/25
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 25 and 557:
LCD = LCM(25, 557) = 13,925
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (13,925):
5/557
= 125/13,925
and 23/25
= 12,811/13,925
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:125 is less than 12,811 (125 < 12,811)
As a result,
125/13,925
is less than 12,811/13,925
Therefore, 5/557
is less than 23/25
, 5/557
< 23/25
