Solution
Given numbers are `1/4, 13/16` and `5/8`.
First, we convert the number as like denominator.
| 2 | 4, 16, 8 |
| 2 | 2, 8, 4 |
| 2 | 1, 4, 2 |
| 2 | 1, 2, 1 |
| 1, 1, 1 |
Taking LCM of 4, 16, 8 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16
Now, `1/4 = 1/4 xx 4/4 = 4/16`,
`5/8 = 5/8 xx 2/2 = 10/16`
`13/16 > 10/16 > 4/16`
i.e. `13/16 > 5/8 > 1/4`
