Best Answer

If you multiply your number by any number greater than 1, the result will be greater than the starting number - assuming your number is positive. If your number is negative, you need to multiply it by any number less than 1, to get a result that is greater than the original number.

To get a number that is slightly greater, multiply by a number that is slightly greater than 1 (ot slightly lee than= -1).
