Positive numbers will always be greater than negative numbers. For example, we're trying to compare -2 and 0, 0 will be the greatest because it is an example of positive number.
_____________________________________
Now, for the part where students thinks it's hard, when comparing 2 negative numbers. Let me give you an example. Please refer to the given examples below.
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
Examples:
What is bigger, -8 or -9?
→ Well, the answer will be -8 because as we can see in the given image above which contains an image of number line, we can see that -8 is close to positive numbers. When we're looking to the right, the number increases while we're looking to the left, the number decreases. So, -8 will be the greatest, while -9 will be the least.
What is bigger, -1 or 0?
→ Some of you think that the answer is -1, but no, the correct answer will be 0 because, there's no negative sign before it and it is a positive number so it will be greater than -1.
