      I memorized it like this:

      Add another stroke to < and it becomes 4, smaller number Add another stroke to > and it becomes 7 (if you cross it in the middle like I do), greater number

        I learnt it as “the mouth tries to eat the biggest number, so it faces towards the biggest number”

        When you put numbers around it becomes really obvious.

        1<2 = 1 is lower than 2. 1<2<3<4<5<6<7 4>3 = 4 is greater than 3. 9>8>7>6>5>4>…
