They do not necessarily.

13*23 = 299 and 299 is certainly not smaller than 13 or 23.

A decimal is simply a form of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times the place value of the digit to its right. There is no requirement for the number to have a fractional part or a decimal point.
