Detailed explanation-1: -The less than symbol is <. Two other comparison symbols are ≥ (greater than or equal to) and ≤ (less than or equal to).
Detailed explanation-2: -The symbol ≤ means less than or equal to. The symbol ≥ means greater than or equal to.
Detailed explanation-3: -means “ much greater than”. Both these terms refer to a greater inequality than ‘less than’ or ‘greater than’ respectively.
Detailed explanation-4: -The notation a ≤ b or a ⩽ b means that a is less than or equal to b (or, equivalently, at most b, or not greater than b). The notation a ≥ b or a ⩾ b means that a is greater than or equal to b (or, equivalently, at least b, or not less than b).
Detailed explanation-5: -The signs for greater than (>) and less than (<) were introduced in 1631 in “Artis Analyticae Praxis ad Aequationes Algebraicas Resolvendas.” The book was the work of British mathematician, Thomas Harriot, and was published 10 years after his death in 1621.
