Alright, let's see all the numbers!

55,500

55,053

56,482

55,592

The first thing we look for is the number to the left. All of these are 5, so that doesn't mark anything off. For the second number, we have one six, and that is more than five, so 56,482 > 55,500. For the third number, we have two remaining numbers

55,500 is the goal

55,053

55,593

The third numbers are 5,0, and 5 respectively. Since 0 is less than 5, 55,500 > 55,053 and you have your answer!
