These Comparing 6-Digit Numbers Worksheets give students focused practice comparing six-digit whole numbers from 100,000 to 999,999. Every comparison pairs one six-digit number with another six-digit number, helping students apply place-value reasoning from the hundred-thousands place through the ones place.

What Makes This Practice Different?
These worksheets focus specifically on 6-digit vs 6-digit comparisons. Every number used in a comparison is between 100,000 and 999,999.
Because both values contain six digits, students must compare corresponding place values rather than relying on the length of the numeral.
If you need mixed practice with different number lengths anywhere within 0–999,999, use our Comparing Numbers from 0 to 999,999 Worksheets instead.

What’s Included?
This printable resource is designed specifically for comparing 6-digit numbers. Every problem presents two whole numbers from 100,000 to 999,999, and students write the correct <, > or = symbol between them.
The set includes printable worksheets, matching answer keys, and both A4 and US Letter versions for classroom, homeschool, tutoring, or home use.
How to Compare 6-Digit Numbers
When comparing two six-digit numbers, students begin with the hundred-thousands place.
For example, when comparing 482,731 and 476,915, both numbers have 4 hundred-thousands, so students move to the ten-thousands place. Since 8 ten-thousands are greater than 7 ten-thousands, 482,731 is greater than 476,915.
When leading digits match, students continue moving right until they find the first place where the digits differ.
Start at the Hundred-Thousands Place
The most efficient method is to compare digits from left to right, beginning with the greatest place value.
This strategy requires students to use place value precisely and helps consolidate comparison skills across large whole numbers.
Skills Practiced
Students practice comparing six-digit numbers, applying place-value reasoning from hundred-thousands through ones, identifying greater than and less than relationships, recognizing equal values, and recording comparisons with the symbols <, > and =.
Grade & Curriculum Alignment
These worksheets are especially suitable for Grade 4 students who are comparing multi-digit whole numbers using place value.
They align closely with Common Core State Standard 4.NBT.A.2, which includes comparing multi-digit whole numbers based on the value of the digits in each place and recording the comparison using the symbols >, = and <.
Grade 4 expectations in this Common Core domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000, so six-digit numbers from 100,000 to 999,999 fit within that range.
Who Are These Worksheets For?
Teachers, parents, tutors, and homeschool families can use these printable worksheets with students who are ready to compare six-digit whole numbers using place value.
They are useful for independent practice, small-group instruction, math centers, homework, intervention, review, or additional place-value practice.
How to Use the Worksheets
Choose either the US Letter or A4 version and print the pages you need. Students compare the two 6-digit numbers in each problem and write the correct <, > or = symbol.
Encourage students to explain which value or place value helped them make the comparison. Matching answer keys make the worksheets suitable for teacher checking or student self-correction.
