Compare the following:$8, \frac{14}{3}$

Given :

The given numbers are $8, \frac{14}{3}$.

To do :

We have to compare the given numbers.

Solution :

To compare two fractions convert them into like fractions.

$\frac{8}{1} = \frac{8\times 3}{1\times 3} = \frac{24}{3}$

Now,

$\frac{24}{3}$ and $\frac{14}{3}$ are like fractions.

The fraction with the larger numerator is the largest fraction.

$24>14$

This implies,

$\frac{24}{3} >\frac{14}{3}$

$\frac{8}{1} > \frac{14}{3}$

Therefore,

8 is greater than $\frac{14}{3}$.
