No.
2*-1=-2. -2 is less than -1.
2*1=2. 2 is the same as 2.
It is, if both are positive and greater than ' 1 '.

Is the product of two numbers is always greater than either number. a math question.?
No. If one of the numbers is 0 it is less; if one of the numbers is 1 it is the same as one of them; otherwise the product is greater than either
Explain why second partial product is always greater than the first partial priduct when you multiply two 2-digit numbers?
The product of two digit numbers is always greater than either.
Is the product of two mixed numbers always greater than either number?
Yes, if both the numbers have the same sign. But not if only one of them is negative.
The sum of two numbers is always greater than either of the two numbers?
Not true if either of the numbers is negative.
Is the product of two positive numbers greater than either number?
A positive number is any number greater than zero. 1 is a positive number, so is 2, 2.5, 3.14159, 11, 11.25 etc 0.5 is a positive number. The product of two positive numbers is the result of multiplying them together. * 2 x 3 = 6 (the product). In this case the product is greater than either number. But... * 0.5 x 0.25 is 0.125. ~In this case the product is actually smaller than either of the two numbers! * Or 0.5 x 10 = 5 . Here the product is greater than 0.5 but smaller than 10. So the answer is ...sometimes!
Is the product of tow numbers is greater than either number?

What is a conjecture for multiplying two odd numbers?
One possible conjecture: The product is always an odd number. Another possible conjecture: The product is always greater than either of them. Another possible conjecture: Both odd numbers are always factors of the product. Another possible conjecture: The product is never a multiple of ' 2 '. Another possible conjecture: The product is always a real, rational number. Another possible conjecture: The product is always an integer.
The sum of two numbers is greater than either number?
The sum of two numbers will almost always be greater than either number. The only exception would be when dealing with two negative numbers.
Is the product of two positive numbers greater than either number?

Is the product of 2 positive numbers greater than either number?
Not always. Here are counterexamples: Cases involving 1: 1 x 1 = 1 1 x 3 = 3 Cases involving positive numbers less than 1: 0.5 x 10 = 5 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 Note that here we have positive numbers that are less than or equal to 1. When either number is less than 1, the product will not be greater than both numbers. Also, if either number is equal to 1, the product will be equal to the larger of the original numbers. A modified statement is the product P of two positive real numbers x and y such that x, y > 1, is greater than both x and y.
Product of two positive numbers is greater than either number?
Not if either of the numbers is between 0 and 1. 5*0.5 = 2.5 is not greater than 5 0.3*0.4 = 0.12 is smaller than both multiplicands.
When you multiply two whole numbers the product is equal to or greater than either of the factors is this true or false?
False.
When is the product of three integers larger than either of them?
"Either" is used for two. I'll assume that you mean "larger than ANY of them". The following applies to ANY real numbers.For TWO numbers, the product is larger than either of them if both numbers are greater than one. For THREE numbers, the product is larger than any of them if the two numbers OTHER than the largest number have a product greater than one. For example: 0.5, 3, 5 The largest number here is 5; the product of the OTHER two is 0.5 x 3 = 1.5. Or here is an example with integers: -5, -3, 10 The product of the "other two" numbers is 15, which is larger than one - so the product of all three is larger than the largest number (and therefore, larger than ANY of them). Another example: -5, 1, 10 The product of the two numbers OTHER than the largest is -5 x 1 = -5; since this is NOT greater than 1, the product of all three is NOT greater than any of the numbers. This reasoning can be extended to four or more numbers. For 4 numbers: If the product of all three numbers OTHER than the largest one is GREATER than one, then the product of ALL FOUR numbers is greater than ANY of them.
