Xét hiệu:
\(H=\frac{a}{b}-\frac{a+1}{b+1}=\frac{a\left(b+1\right)-b\left(a+1\right)}{b\left(b+1\right)}=\frac{a-b}{b\left(b+1\right)}.\)
Vì b>0 => b+1>0. Do đó:
Nếu a>b thì H>0 hay: \(\frac{a}{b}>\frac{a+1}{b+1}\)Nếu a<b thì H<0 hay: \(\frac{a}{b}< \frac{a+1}{b+1}\)Nếu a=b thì H=0 hay: \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{a+1}{b+1}\)
