You bet. As long as at least one of the factors is a proper fraction.
1/2 x 6 = 3 (product is smaller than one factor)
1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12 (product is smaller than both factors)

When you multiply 23 by a fraction less than one how does the product compare to the factors?
23 is a prime and so its only factors are 1 and 23. The product will be smaller than 23 but it is not possible to be certain how the product will compare with 1.
When dividing two numbers is the product always smaller than one of the factors?
No. 36 divided by 4 = 9
How can you determine whether the LCM of two numbers is the product of the numbers or is less than the product if the numbers?
By finding out whether they have any factors in common. If the only factor they have in common is 1, the LCM will be their product. If they have more factors in common, their LCM will be less than their product.
What does a composite number mean?
A composite number is an integer (usually a positive integer) that can be expressed as the product of smaller integers (other than 1). In other words, a composite number is NOT a prime number, but it has smaller prime numbers as factors.
What do you notice about the relationship between the factors and the product when multiplying two decimals less than 1?
The factors are greater than the product.
What are the factors of 35 which are smaller than 200?
All of the factors of 35 are less than 200.
Why is 24 composite?
Because it has factors smaller than itself.
Explain why 20 is considered to be a composite number?
Any number that has factors smaller than itself (other than 1) is a composite number.Any number that has factors smaller than itself (other than 1) is a composite number.Any number that has factors smaller than itself (other than 1) is a composite number.Any number that has factors smaller than itself (other than 1) is a composite number.
How can you determine if the least common multiple of 2 numbers is the product of the 2 numbers or less than the product of the 2 numbers?
If the GCF of a given pair of numbers is 1, the LCM will be equal to their product. If the GCF is greater than 1, the LCM will be less than their product. Or, stated another way, if the two numbers have no common prime factors, their LCM will be their product.
What is the least common multiple of 7 and 9 that is smaller than their product?
The LCM of 7 and 9 is their product. There is no common multiple that is smaller.
What do you know about the product if one of the factors is less than one?
The product will be less than the other factor.
When multiply 0.8 by a number between 0 and 1 will the product be bigger or smaller the same than 0.8?
Smaller. The product of any positive number and a number between 0 and 1 will be smaller than the original number.
