To determine the correct sign to use between -815 and -834, we can convert each number to its decimal form (though they are already in decimal form as integers). We need to compare the two numbers:

  • -815 is greater than -834 because it is closer to zero on the number line.

To clarify:

-815: -----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
-834: -----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|

Since -815 is to the right of -834 on the number line, it is indeed greater.

Thus, the correct sign to place between -815 and -834 is:

>

So the statement is -815 > -834.
