That is not true. (-5) + (-3) is -8 which is smaller than either.

Is the LCM of two numbers always larger than either number Why or why not?
Not always, sometimes the LCM equals the greatest number, i.e.the LCM of 5 and 6 is 30, the LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.
Why can you subtract a larger number from a smaller number?
Numbers don't stop in either direction. If you subtract a larger number from a smaller one, the answer will be negative.
Is the product of tow numbers is greater than either number?
Not always.
How can you prove there is no largest prime number?
No. No matter how large of an example you choose, someone always can find a larger number (of any kind), because the upper range of number is infinite. If you take all the known prime numbers and multiply them together, then add 1 to the result, you will have a number that is not divisible by any of the known prime numbers. This number will either be prime or have prime factors that were not previously known. So, in this way, you can always find a new prime number or a number that is a multiple of new prime numbers. If the known prime numbers include all the prime numbers up to the largest known, the new ones must be larger.
What is the product of a number and any whole nonzero number?
It is also a number. It can be smaller than, equal to or larger than either of the two numbers.

Is the sum of two whole numbers always larger than either whole Number?
No. -2 and -3 are both whole number and their sum is -5 which is smaller than both.
Why can you subtract a larger number from a smaller number?
Numbers don't stop in either direction. If you subtract a larger number from a smaller one, the answer will be negative.
When two numbers are added together the answer is always a larger number?
Only true if both of the numbers are of the same polarity.
Is the product of tow numbers is greater than either number?
Not always.
Is the sum of two numbers always greater than the larger number?
Not always, if the smaller number is 0 or a negative number. Then their sum will be equal or less than the greater number.
What is the end of number?
If you mean "the last number", there is no such thing; you can always add one more. Even infinite numbers - numbers that describe the magnitude of infinite sets - don't have a "last number"; you can always find a larger infinite number. Specifically, if you have a certain infinite number, 2 to the power of that infinite number will give you a larger infinity.
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.

It is also a number. It can be smaller than, equal to or larger than either of the two numbers.
How long do the numbers go?
There is no last number, if that's what you mean. Whatever number you choose, you can always add one more, to get an even larger number.
How would you use a number line to put integers in order from greatest to least?
Smaller numbers always go to the left of larger number on the number line.
