It is true that the closer the numbers are, the more decimal places are needed to compare them.
When comparing numbers, the goal is to see which is larger or smaller. This can present a challenge when the numbers are so close together that they look the same.
In such a case you would have to increase the number of decimal places till you see which number is less than the other. For instance:
- compare 3.1425821 and 3.1425870
The second digit of 3.1425870 is the larger number but we had to go all the way to the 6th decimal place to confirm this.
In conclusion, the closer the numbers, the higher the number of decimal places needed to compare them.
