Compare two numbers, lists, or bounds quickly. View symbols, sorting, gaps, and equality checks fast. Perfect for homework, practice, estimation, and clear comparison work.
| Mode | Input | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Compare Two Values | A = 14, B = 9 | 14 > 9 |
| Compare Three Values | A = 6, B = 11, C = 6 | B is largest, A and C tie below it |
| Sort a Number List | 8, 3, 12, -1, 7 | -1, 3, 7, 8, 12 |
| Check a Range | Target = 4.5, Range = [2, 7] | 4.5 lies inside the interval |
Basic inequality: If A > B, then A is greater than B. If A < B, then A is less than B. If A = B, the values are equal.
Absolute difference: Difference = |A − B|
Percent difference: Percent Difference = |A − B| ÷ ((|A| + |B|) ÷ 2) × 100
Range check: Inclusive interval uses lower ≤ target ≤ upper. Exclusive interval uses lower < target < upper.
List ordering: Values are arranged from least to greatest or greatest to least to show immediate comparison.
Choose a calculation mode first. Use two-value mode for direct comparison. Use three-value mode for quick ranking. Use list mode to sort many values. Use range mode to test whether a number belongs inside an interval.
Enter your values in the visible fields. Select the decimal precision you want in the output. For list mode, separate numbers with commas, spaces, or line breaks.
Press Calculate. The result appears above the form and below the header. Use the CSV button to export the result table. Use the PDF button to open a print-ready version and save it as a PDF.
This greater than and less than calculator helps you compare numbers fast. It works with whole numbers, decimals, negatives, and ranges. You can test two values or rank three values. You can also sort a full list. That makes the tool useful for school, practice sheets, estimation, and quick checks. It saves time and reduces small comparison mistakes. The result is shown clearly with symbols, ordered values, and simple statements.
Many learners know the symbols but still mix them up. This tool removes that confusion. It shows whether one value is greater than, less than, or equal to another. It also shows the absolute difference between values. That extra step helps users see how far apart the numbers are. When values match, the calculator reports equality. This is helpful in basic arithmetic, pre algebra, and number sense practice.
The list mode is useful when you have many numbers. It arranges them from least to greatest and also from greatest to least. You can quickly spot the minimum, maximum, range, mean, and median. The range mode checks whether a target value falls inside bounds. Inclusive and exclusive options are included. This is useful for interval notation, graphing on a number line, test review, and classroom exercises.
This inequality calculator supports fast revision and cleaner answers. Students can verify comparisons before writing final steps. Teachers can use it to create examples. Parents can use it during homework help. Because the tool handles decimals and negative values, it fits many real problems. It also supports exports, which helps when saving results. If you need a simple math tool for comparison, ordering, and interval checks, this calculator is a practical choice.
The greater than symbol shows that the value on the left is larger than the value on the right. Example: 9 > 4 means 9 is larger than 4.
The less than symbol shows that the value on the left is smaller than the value on the right. Example: 2 < 7 means 2 is smaller than 7.
Yes. It compares decimals directly. It also keeps a chosen display precision, so the output remains clear when you work with measurements, money, or estimates.
Yes. Negative numbers work in all modes. The calculator compares them correctly, so you can test values such as -3 and -8 or sort lists containing mixed signs.
If the numbers match, the calculator shows equality. That means neither value is greater than the other. The absolute difference becomes zero.
List mode helps when you have many numbers. It sorts them in ascending and descending order and also shows the least value, greatest value, range, mean, and median.
Inclusive range checks allow the target to equal the lower or upper bound. Exclusive range checks require the target to stay strictly between the two bounds.
Yes. You can export the current result table as CSV. You can also open a print-ready view and save it as a PDF from your browser.
