Say it in English grammar "GREATER than" means greater number first. And vice versa.

Crocodile eats bigger number is way easier to remember

How does this help me remember which symbol means greater than and which one means less than?

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The bigger side of the symbol is greater. The small side is less.

We read left to right.

That make sense?

No, sorry, not at all. You just said 2 true things that i agree with. I just fail to see the connection. How does reading left to right help me remember that the bigger side is greater? You didn't even mention the important part in the first comment as if it is implied by left to right reading. I'm clearly missing something that seems obvious to you
