Why is it when you multiply by a fraction the original number gets smaller?

A fraction is normally used to represent a value is less that 1. So if you have 1 of a number and then find something that is less than 1 of it, it is naturally going to be smaller. However, you can also have a fraction that is greater than 1, in which case the value multiplied will be greater than the original.
