Why is gravity called the weakest force? How do we even compare forces?

I am not talking about the natural values of the forces that we normally experience in our daily lives.... I mean to say, we don't know the magnitude of any force to it's extremity, right? It can always be larger...

So on what basis do we compare forces in general? What is the basis for a fair comparison in this case?

Does this answer your question? What does it mean to say "Gravity is the weakest of the forces"?
(see also the linked questions on that page, which has many other variants of this question)
