    The symbols “>” (greater) and “<” (less) are elements used in mathematics to indicate that one value is greater or less than another. These two signs are used to designate inequality and the opening always points to the largest number and the termination or tip to the smallest number. For example:16 > 12 (16 is greater than 12), 7 < 11 (7 is less than 11), 134 > 132 (134 is greater than 132).

    • The > (greater) sign . The greater symbol expresses that the number that is in front of the figure is greater than the one that is behind. For example:3 > 2. This reads: three is greater than two. To recognize this sign, it must be remembered that the opening points to the greater number.
    • The < (minor) sign . The minor symbol indicates that the element in front of it is smaller than the one behind it. For example:2 < 6. This reads: two is less than six. To recognize this sign, it must be remembered that the tip points to the smaller number.

    The symbols ? and ?

    The symbol ? indicates that the number before the symbol is “greater than or equal to” the number after it. On the contrary, the symbol ? means that the number that is before it is "less than or equal" to the one that is after it. These symbols are used for mathematical formulas and not so much for numbers.
