Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter both decimal values.
  2. Read <, >, or = between them.
  3. Use the absolute difference for the size of the gap.

Calculation method

Align decimal scales before comparing

Both coefficients are expanded to the same power-of-ten scale. Integer comparison then determines the relation without rounding.

Worked example

Equivalent written decimals

Trailing zeros do not change a number's value.

1.20 = 1.2

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Exact decimal input

Finite decimals use integer-scaled arithmetic, with no binary floating-point conversion.

Input boundary

Unless stated otherwise, use at most 200 digits total and 100 digits after the decimal marker.
