Default I want the greater number of 2 cells to show in a separate cell

I'm sure this is a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer...I
want the greater number of 2 cells to show in a separate cell
Example...
IF A1 IS GREATER THAN A2 THEN I NEED THE GREATER NUMBER TO BE PLACED IN A3
IF A2 IS GREATER THAN A1 THEN I NEED THE GREATER NUMBER TO BE PLACED IN A3

Thank you
