How is the product of a proper fraction and a whole number similar and different from the product of two proper fractions?
If you express the whole number w, as w/1, then there is no difference whatsoever.
How can you convert to proper fractions?
It depends on what you want to convert to proper fractions. Not all things can be converted to proper fractions.
Which positive integer has the most proper factors?
Since numbers don't stop, then factors don't stop, then proper factors don't stop. It's impossible to quantify an infinite answer.
How is the product of a proper fraction and a whole number similar to and different from the product of two proper fractions?
They are the same. If you write the whole number p in the form of the fraction, p/1, you would see absolutely no difference.
How is the product of a proper fraction and a whole number similar to the product of 2 proper fractions?
Any whole number, n, can be written as the fraction n/1.Multiplication of a fraction, p/q by a whole number n is the same as multiplying p/q by n/1.Furthermore, the process of multiplying proper fractions and improper fractions is the same and that gives the equality of the two processes.
When multiplying proper fractions why is the product less than the both factors?
A proper fraction is less than 1. Any positive number multiplied by a positive number less 1 will be less than itself. In multiplying two proper fractions, each one is being multiplied by a number less than 1.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
Can the product of 2 proper fractions be 1?
No.
How do you find the product of improper fractions?
You solve it just like they are proper fractions
Is the product of two proper fractions greater than the fractions being multipled?
No, it is not.
Why is the product of two proper fractions less than either of the fractions?
A proper fraction is less than 1. Whenever you multiply something by a number < 1, the result (product) is less than the original number. So when you multiply a proper fraction by a number less one (such as another proper fraction, the product is less than the original proper fraction. The only time a product involving a given number is larger than the given number is when you multiply the given number by a number that is > 1. Since all proper fractions are < 1, products involving them are always less than the original given number.

Is 9 prime?
No 9 is not prime. It's factors are 1,3,9. Proper factors: 1,3. Factors are numbers that are multiplied with other numbers to get a product. Proper factors are factors of a number except for itself. No 9 is not prime. It's factors are 1,3,9. Proper factors: 1,3. Factors are numbers that are multiplied with other numbers to get a product. Proper factors are factors of a number except for itself. Composite numbers are numbers with more than 2 factors and more than 1 proper factor. Prime is the opposite of composite.
How many proper factors are there in eighty?
8 proper factors: 2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40. A Proper factor is any positive integer that divides your number, and we exclude 1 and the number itself.
Why is the product of two positive proper fractions always less than either fraction?
because when you multiply the denominators it creates a much smaller proportion. for example multiply 0.5 by 0.5, the result is 0.25 in fractions it is 1/2 x 1/2, the result 1/4

Proper factors of ten?
The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, and 10. The proper factors, or divisors, of the integer n are the positive factors of n other than n itself. So, the proper factors of ten are 1, 2, and 5.
