Any number that is a decimal is smaller that 1. Answer: doesn't exist. Now, if you multiply by a fraction that is different.
--------------------------------
Um I dont fully understand what is said above but when you divide a whole number by a decimal, the answer tends to be smaller than the original whole number.
e.g:
50 divided by 0.5 = 25.
0.5 can be referred to as 0.50, 50/100 or 1/2. so it is halfing 50. hope that makes sense. if it doesnt, message me...if you are a member anyhow.
