Best Answer

because when mulitipling that number your always going to get a greater number because that's just how mulipication works

When multiplying two whole numbers the result will always be greater than either number except when multiplying by zero (the result will always be zero), or multiplying by one (the result is always the other number). Although it f obvious to most people, it can be demonstrated as follows:

  • When multiplying a number by 2, the result is twice the number.
  • When multiplying a number by 3, the result is three times the number,even bigger.
  • When multiplying a number by 4, the result is four times the number,even bigger still.
  • The pattern continues. Each time you multiply by a larger number, the result gets even bigger.a
