The best way to order from least to greatest is to make all the denominators equal so find the Lowest Common Multiple of all the denominators:

LCM= 24

2/4 (times 6) = 12/24

2/3 (times 8) = 16/24

2/8 (times 3) = 6/24

2/6 (times 4) = 8/24

Now you can easily order which is lowest to greatest (REMEMBER TO SIMPLIFY BACK TO ORIGINAL FRACTIONS WHEN ORDERING)

2/8, 2/6, 2/4. 2/3

Hope this helps! :D
