égal (à)
Is there any case where à is needed? Or is this just a matter of preference? Thanks.
This question relates to:French lesson "Doing arithmetic in French - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division"

Bonjour J,
When égaler means "to equal" you don't need à.
When it means "to compare/rank" you do:
Ce roman n'égale pas à Madame Bovary.
