depends on what you want to achive as there are many possibilities
\number\dimexp 123pt\relax
\number\dimexp 123pt/65536\relax
there's also
\withoutpt
anyhow, you code ...
\dimen0=10pt
\dimen2=20pt
\dimen4=30pt
\dimen6=40pt
\ifdim \dimexpr\dimen0/\dimen2\relax > \dimexpr\dimen4/\dimen6\relax

\else
do otherthing
