Thanks DragonSlayer but you need to learn how to explain it.  This can be very difficult to do but you should accept the challenge.  I shall give it a go.

20.156 or 20.1557

The whole number part of both these is 20.  So they are close in value

the next digit after the point is 1 for both of them

the next is 5 for both

the next is 6 for the first one and 5 for the 2nd one.  6 is bigger than 5 so the first one is the largest.

20.156 > 20.1557
