How to compare and sort the fractions in ascending order, by categories:

- any positive proper fraction is smaller than...


- any positive improper fraction.



How do we compare and sort all the fractions?

It is clear that there is no point in comparing fractions from different categories.


We will compare and sort the fractions in each of the above categories, separately.


Sort the positive proper fractions in ascending order:
131/2,685 and 119/2,685

The fractions have the same denominator, compare their numerators.

This is one of the simplest cases when it comes to comparing and sorting fractions.


The larger the numerator the larger the positive fraction.


The larger the numerator the smaller the negative fraction.

Simplify the operation
Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:


The fraction: 191/108

191/108 is already reduced to the lowest terms.

The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:


  • 191 is a prime number.
  • 108 = 22 × 33
  • GCF (191; 108) = 1


The fraction: 183/127

183/127 is already reduced to the lowest terms.

The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:


  • 183 = 3 × 61
  • 127 is a prime number.

The fraction: 182/102

  • The prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator:
  • 182 = 2 × 7 × 13
  • 102 = 2 × 3 × 17
  • Multiply all the common prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the lowest exponent (the lowest powers).
  • GCF (182; 102) = 2

182/102 = (182 ÷ 2)/(102 ÷ 2) = 91/51


The fraction can also be reduced without calculating GCF; factor the numerator and denominator and cross out all the common prime factors:


182/102 = (2 × 7 × 13)/(2 × 3 × 17) = ((2 × 7 × 13) ÷ 2)/((2 × 3 × 17) ÷ 2) = 91/51



The fraction: 274/106

  • 274 = 2 × 137

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

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

  • 1) calculate their common denominator
  • 2) then calculate the expanding number of each fraction
  • 3) expand the fractions to equivalent forms having the same denominator

Calculate the common denominator

The common denominator is nothing else than the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of the fractions.


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


108 = 22 × 33

127 is a prime number.

51 = 3 × 17

53 is a prime number.

25 = 52

61 is a prime number.

17 is a prime number.

13 is a prime number.

116 = 22 × 29


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).

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).
