Because 370 is greater than 307 i.e. 370 > 307. (c) On the number line, whole number 56789 is on the left of 98765. Because 98765 is greater than 56789 i.e. 98765 > 56789. (d) On the number line, whole number 9830415 is on the left of 10023001. Because 9830415 is less than 10023001 i.e. 9830415 < 10023001.
