Which is greater? One hundred, fifty two thousand or five million? Why?

Answer 1

Five million is greater than one hundred fifty-two thousand.

To compare the two numbers:

• One hundred fifty-two thousand is written as 152,000.
• Five million is written as 5,000,000.

When comparing them numerically:

• 5,000,000 (five million) is clearly greater than 152,000 (one hundred fifty-two thousand).

Thus, five million is the greater number.
