If one of the numbers is zero, zero point something or a negative number. Zero point something is a decimal starting with 0, eg. 0.4, 0.123

Find 3 consecutive numbers where the product of the smaller two numbers is 19 less than the square of the largest number.?
Find 3 consecutive numbers where the product of the smaller two numbers is 19 less than the square of the largest number.
When would you get a smaller product when multiplying two rational numbers?
The product of two rational numbers, X and Y, is smaller than either of them if both are between 0 and 1.
When multiply 0.8 by a number between 0 and 1 will the product be bigger or smaller the same than 0.8?
Smaller. The product of any positive number and a number between 0 and 1 will be smaller than the original number.

How can you determine whether the LCM of two numbers is the product of the numbers or is less than the product if the numbers?
By finding out whether they have any factors in common. If the only factor they have in common is 1, the LCM will be their product. If they have more factors in common, their LCM will be less than their product.

Why do you think the least common multiple is not always the product of the two numbers?
The prime factorization of the LCM will contain all the prime factors of the two original numbers. When the original numbers don't have any prime factors in common, (the GCF is 1) the LCM will be their product. When the two original numbers have prime factors in common (the GCF is 2 or more) the duplicates will be discarded and the LCM will be less than their product.
When dividing two numbers is the product always smaller than one of the factors?
No. 36 divided by 4 = 9
Why in a multipling decimal problem is the answer smaller the products?
If you multiply a number less than 1 by another number less than 1, then the product is less than either of the original numbers. The reason is that a number less than 1 represents a piece of 1 whole thing. Multiplying two numbers less than 1 represents taking a piece of a piece, and when you do that, you wind up with less than either one of the original pieces.
