To compare and sort the fractions, make their numerators the same.

To make the fractions' numerators the same - we have to:

  • 1) calculate their common numerator
  • 2) calculate the expanding number of each fraction
  • 3) expand the fractions to equivalent forms having equal numerators

Calculate the common numerator

The common numerator is nothing else than the least common multiple (LCM) of the numerators of the fractions.


To calculate the LCM, we need the prime factorization of the numerators:


113 is a prime number.

114 = 2 × 3 × 19

95 = 5 × 19

104 = 23 × 13

99 = 32 × 11


Multiply all the unique prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the highest exponent (the highest powers).

LCM (113, 114, 95, 104, 99) = 23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113 = 110,527,560



Calculate the expanding number of each fraction:

Divide the LCM by the numerator of each fraction.


113/165 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 113 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ 113 = 978,120


114/193 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 114 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ (2 × 3 × 19) = 969,540


95/198 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 95 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ (5 × 19) = 1,163,448


104/219 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 104 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ (23 × 13) = 1,062,765


99/272 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 99 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ (32 × 11) = 1,116,440




Make the numerators of the fractions the same:

  • Expand each fraction: multiply both its numerator and denominator by its corresponding expanding number, calculated above.
  • This way all the fractions will have the same numerator:

113/165 = (978,120 × 113)/(978,120 × 165) = 110,527,560/161,389,800


114/193 = (969,540 × 114)/(969,540 × 193) = 110,527,560/187,121,220


95/198 = (1,163,448 × 95)/(1,163,448 × 198) = 110,527,560/230,362,704


104/219 = (1,062,765 × 104)/(1,062,765 × 219) = 110,527,560/232,745,535


99/272 = (1,116,440 × 99)/(1,116,440 × 272) = 110,527,560/303,671,680




The fractions have the same numerator, compare their denominators.

The larger the denominator the smaller the positive fraction.


The larger the denominator the larger the negative fraction.

How to compare two fractions?

1. Fractions that have different signs:

  • Any positive fraction is larger than any negative fraction:
  • ie: 4/25 > - 19/2

2. A proper and an improper fraction:

  • Any positive improper fraction is larger than any positive proper fraction:
  • ie: 44/25 > 1 > 19/200
  • Any negative improper fraction is smaller than any negative proper fraction:
  • ie: - 44/25 < -1 < - 19/200

3. Fractions that have both like numerators and denominators:

  • The fractions are equal:
  • ie: 89/50 = 89/50

4. Fractions that have unlike (different) numerators but like (equal) denominators.

  • Positive fractions: compare the numerators, the larger fraction is the one with the larger numerator:
  • ie: 24/25 > 19/25
  • Negative fractions: compare the numerators, the larger fraction is the one with the smaller numerator:
  • ie: - 19/25 < - 17/25

5. Fractions that have unlike (different) denominators but like (equal) numerators.

  • Positive fractions: compare the denominators, the larger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator:
  • ie: 24/25 > 24/26
  • Negative fractions: compare the denominators, the larger fraction is the one with the larger denominator:
  • ie: - 17/25 < - 17/29

6. Fractions that have different denominators and numerators (unlike denominators and numerators).
