While I don't get what you're trying to say, I am guessing you talk about the mathematical aspect here. In that case -1193 is greater/larger/whatever you call it (-1193 > -1227)
Which number is nearer to 0? -1227 or -1193? -1193 to 0 is 1193, and -1227 to 0 is 1227. -1193 is nearer to 0, that's the answer.
