Is it true that when you multiply two natural numbers the product is never less than either of the two numbers?
Yes. Natural numbers are counting numbers, equal to or greater than 0. The only ways a product can be less than its multiplicands is when multiplying fractions by fractions or multiplying a positive number by a negative number.
What is the difference between multiplying decimals and multiplying whole numbers?
You do the multiplication in exactly the same way. The only extra thing is that when multiplying decimals, you need to place the decimal point (or decimal comma - depending on your country) in the correct position. If one number has, for example, 3 digits after the decimal point, and the other 4, you need to place the decimal point in the result (BEFORE eliminating unnecessary zeros) in such a way that there are, in this example, 7 digits (3 + 4) to the right of the decimal point.
What is the ones digit in the product of all the prime numbers less than 2012?
The ones digit in the product from multiplying the 305 prime numbers less than 2012 is 0 because the ones digit becomes 0 after 2 and 5 have been multiplied and remains unchanged after more prime numbers are multiplied.
All numbers less than 100 that are the product of exactly three different prime numbers?
No, for example: 16=24
Can two mixed numbers be less than 1 why or why not?
No it’s can not be a number less than one because a number times one get you the same number
How can you determine from the prime factorization wheather the least common multiple of two numbers is the prouduct of the numbers or is less then the prouduct of two numbers. explain your thinking?
If the two numbers have no common factors (other than 1), then the LCM is equal to the product of the two numbers. If they have some factors in common, then those factors need only be used once when multiplying, so the LCM will be less than the product of the two numbers.
How do you know if your product is less than 10000 or greater without multiplying?
You cannot. Anyone who says otherwise can try 316.225 * 31.624 for example. And lots more where that came from.
Why is the product of two decimals each less than one be less than one?
because you multiplying by 9
When multiplying fraction by fraction will the product be greater than or less than?
It is not possible to tell.
Product of prime numbers less than 100?
The product of the prime numbers less than 100 is 2.3055679639455188e+36
Can the product of two numbers be less than either of the numbers?
If one of the numbers is negative, but the other is positive, then the product is negative - and therefore smaller than both numbers in the question. For example, 2 x -4 = -8. ===================================== Another contributor added: Also, whenever the absolute magnitude of both factors is less than ' 1 ', the absolute magnitude of the product is less than either factor.
Why does the answer get smaller when multiplying decimals less than 1?
When multiplying decimals less than 1, the answer gets smaller because each decimal is less than 1. Multiplying a number by a value less than 1 will always result in a smaller product. Think of it as taking a fraction or a portion of the number, which will inevitably make the product smaller.
