Answer:

Greater

Explanation:

Dividing a number by a fraction is the same as multiplying it by the reciprocal of the fraction (swap the numerator and denominator).
(A)/((B)/(C)) = A*(C)/(B)

If the fraction is < 1, then the reciprocal is > 1, and multiplying a number A by another number B > 1 will always be greater than A by itself.
