Question

anonymous · Answer

For any negative values

-3 < -2  for example
the greater the value of a negative is, the smaller it is...

For example
-300 is less than -1

So which one is greater  -54 or -21 ?

With negative integers, the lower the absolute value (the number with no negative or positive sign) the higher it's value. Just like @student_basil ... The greater the value of the negative, the value goes lower, and then the  lower the value of a negative integer, the greater it's value...
