Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 5 and 10 is 10

For the 1st fraction, since 5 × 2 = 10,

1

5

=  

1 × 2

5 × 2

=  

2

10

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 10 × 1 = 10,

3

10

=  

3 × 1

10 × 1

=  

3

10

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

2

10

<  

3

10

or
