what does < mean in mathematics?

less than

so the number on the left of < is smaller than the number on the left of it

> is called greater than

LESS THAN

Number before the < is less, and after is more.

This probably sounds stupid, but my math teacher told us an easy way to remember is that the symbol < is like a crocodiles mouth, and it always eats stuff that is bigger.

less than

would not recommend something in holding with say, yet operating example <a million,2> is a vector (a line composed of a importance (length) and a direction). except that that is the better than/less than signs and indicators. i do not recognize of the different use for them in maths, as i have by no skill seen something similar on your social gathering.

Less Than

All other answer are correct. For a bit of fun two more symbols, thus ^ means up and v means down.

less than

it means the numba on the left is "less than" the numba on the right
e.g 3<4

Less than, but NOT equal to.

Less than.

Well it means the thing of the left is smaller than the thing on the right.

7 < 10 which means 7 is smaller or less than 10.

Conversly, > means greater than.

As all the others say LESS THAN

less than

It means 'less than'. i used to get mixed up with this. Remember that the 'point' always points to the smaller number.

E.g:

1 < 2 (one is less than 2)
2 > 1 (two is greater than 1)
x < y (x is less than y)
y > x (y is greater than x)

< is less than, and > is more than

less than

for example 8<10

the "crocidile" mouth always points to the bigger number

That means "less than". The number on the left side of that symbol is less than the number on the right of the symbol.

less than or the other way round more than

Smaller than

Less than.

That's the "less than" symbol. For example, 1<3.

that the number in front of the sign is less than the number after the sign

Less than sth.
E.g 2<9.

less than

The "<" symbol means that whatever is on the left side of it is less than whatever is on the right side of it. For example:

0 < 1 is true because zero is less than one.

You would read it as "Zero is less than one"

< means 'less than'

> means 'more than'

less than.

3<5 3 is less than 5

less than

less than

Less than.

less then

< means less than so 5<6 or 19<26

It means 'less than' as in 1 < 2.
> means 'greater than' as in 5 > 4.

less than

less<greater

Less than

less than

that the number before it is less than the number after

less than

Lesser than

Less than

1<2 = 1 is smaller than 2

less then...
for example...

5<1
