In order to compare 2 decimal numbers, we need to compare both parts of the number, the whole number or the number on the left of the comma and the decimal or the right side of the comma.
If we compare the left side of the comma, we will have 58 in both numbers and for now these numbers are equal. Now lets try to compare the decimals. The rule we follow is that we start from the closest digit to the comma and we compare the digits one by one.
The first digit on the right of comma on our first number is 8 and our second number 9.
We know that 8 < 9 so that means that 58.827 < 58.91
