Steps for comparing fractions

1. Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
   LCM of 6 and 10 is 30
2. For the 1st fraction, since 6 × 5 = 30,
   1/6 = 1 × 5/6 × 5 = 5/30
3. Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 10 × 3 = 30,
   8/10 = 8 × 3/10 × 3 = 24/30
4. Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
5. 5/30 < 24/30 or 1/6 < 8/10
