Why does't the number get bigger with multiplication?

Answer 1

The assertion in the question is false. The result of a multiplication depends on the values.

Given two numbers X and Y,

if X < 0 and if Y < 0 then X*Y is greater than either;

if X > 1 and if Y > 1 then X*Y is greater than either;

if X < 0 and if Y > 1 then X*Y is smaller than either;

if X > 1 and if Y < 0 then X*Y is smaller than either;

if 0 < X < 1 and if 0 < Y < 1 then X*Y is smaller than either;

If X < 0 and if 0 < Y < 1 then X*Y is greater than X but smaller than Y;

If 0 < X < 1 and if Y > 1 then X*Y is greater than X but smaller than Y;

If 0 < X < 1 and if Y < 0 then X*Y is smaller than X but greater than Y;

If X > 1 and if 0 < Y < 1 then X*Y is smaller than X but greater than Y.
