Is 10 to the power of 21 the biggest number?
No. ( 1021 + 1 ) is bigger. There's no such thing as the biggest number. Whatever number you name, no matter how big it is, I can always add ' 1 ' to it and make a bigger number.
Does multiplication always make things bigger?
This is a pretty technical question. The answer will vary depending on your grade level.If you are talking about magnitude (i.e., ignore the negative) than the answer is sort of (I'll explain further down).If you are allowing negative numbers,Start with 2, and multiply it by -1. 2 x -1 = -2 which is smaller than 2.Now, what about multiplying by a number between 0 and 1 (0.5 for example).Start with 4 and multiply by .5 to get 2. 2 is smaller than 4.However, you could argue that by multiplying by a decimal, you are in addition to multiplying, dividing which is why the number is reduced. By the same logic, division would always result in a number of lower magnitude. That would be the side I would tend to take as well, so:Multiplication always increases the magnitude of a number, but does notnecessarilymake it bigger. Division always reduces the magnitude of a number, but does not necessarily make it larger.I should also mention, this is controversial. People can make the argument either way (in regards to multiplication vs division).
In math Do 2 positives make a positive?
Always, and for all basic operations, EXCEPT when you are subtracting the bigger positive number from a smaller positive number.
Does multiplication make a number larger?
Yes, it does. For example: 2x2= 4. [;
Can a negative and a negative make a positive?
In multiplication and division: always. In addition: never. In subtraction: sometimes.

Is there a biggest number?
No. If there were a biggest number, adding 1 won't make it bigger, which is contradictory.

How do you make a flowchart that requires no multiplication sign but multiplication is needed?
Multiplication is an addition 'that' number of times. 3*3 = 9 3+3+3 = 9

In multiplication and division: always. In addition: never. In subtraction: sometimes.
How do make the multiplication sign?
on the number keypad press * and on paper write "X"
Can multiplication ever make a number smaller?
Certainly, if you multiply fractions for instance.
make a multiplication fact of the numbers 3122111?

The simplest multiplication fact is 3122111 x 0 = 0There is only one number. The simplest multiplication fact is 3122111 x 0 = 0
Whats the biggest number on earth?
(MAYBE ONLY) Mathematically, there is no biggest number because if you were to identify any number and call it the biggest, it would always be possible to make a bigger one. Big number +1 = bigger number. Perhaps the answer you are looking for is infinity. (ACTUAL ANSWER) INFINITY IS A MATH SYMBOL .Plus the biggest number is a googaplax. Even if you say googaplax +1 (or bigger)there is no such thing.
Does adding a zero to a decimal number make the number bigger?
There is only one way to change a decimal number to a number bigger than it. Any number such as 5821.2347 adding a zero to either end won't make it bigger. The only way is to get a number negative or smaller than 1 but not 0 than making it to the power of 0 can make it one which is bigger.
