Look at this number line

Choose any number on the number line.

all numbers to the left of it are smaller AND all numbers to the right of it are bigger.

NOW you tell me, are any of the minus numbers bigger than any of the positive numbers ??

A positive number will always be greater than a negative one.

-9999999 < 1

-1 < 1/9999999

just as 1>-1

But if you see an example of a negative mumber greater than a positive one I would like to see it.
