question

Order the numbers from least to greatest.

least

381,112

388,853

379,475

greatest

solution

Start by comparing the digits in the largest place value. All of the numbers have the same digit in the hundred-thousands place.

381,112

388,853

379,475

So, compare the ten-thousands digits.

381,112

388,853

379,475

The ten-thousands digit is least in 379,475. So, that is the least number.

Keep comparing the other two numbers. Compare the thousands digits next.

381,112

388,853

The thousands digit is greater in 388,853. So, that is the greatest number.

That leaves 381,112 as the middle number.

Here are the numbers from least to greatest:
