Since ten thousand place value digit is the same in both the numbers, we use thousand place value to compare these numbers.

When we compare we start with the highest place value.

Here the highest place value of both the number is ten thousands.

So, we start with ten thousands place and move down.

The ten thousand place of 14,321 is 1

The ten thousand place of 11,941 is 1

They are having the same place value. So, we should compare the next digit place and find which is greater.

The thousand place of 14,321 is 4

The thousand place of 11,941 is 1

4 > 1

Therefore, 14,321 > 11,941
