Compare the fractions
5/6
and
2/3

Given Fractions:  
5/6
and
2/3

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 6:
LCD = LCM(3, 6) = 6
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (6):
5/6
=
5/6
  and  
2/3
=
4/6
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:
5 is greater than 4  (5 > 4)
As a result,  
5/6
  is greater than
4/6
Therefore,  
5/6
  is greater than
2/3
,  
5/6
>
2/3
