The only whole number below 1 is zero; even then, some prefer not to include it.
Some relevant mathematical statements:
- 1 (One) is the smallest number.
- Any expression that computes to a value which is less than 1, no matter how small, is always just a label stating a mathematical expression such as 1/3, 0.3333(recurring), 1/1000, 0.001, 1/(zillions of zillions), etc. and that expression must, by definition, always relate back to the smallest number, which is 1.
- The number 0 ("zero" or "nil") is always just a plain label, worth nothing because it has no magnitude, which was invented as a label specifically to be able to state: "There is no number having any value or magnitude present in this place."
- Because zero is always worth nothing because it has no magnitude, it is always JUST a symbol, a plain label, etc., so it can be neither a "whole" number nor a "small" number nor the "smallest" number.
Is there anything proven which actually contradicts the "mathematical hypothesis about the smallest number" which is summarized by those last four statements?

Is the product of a fraction less than one?
product of a fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than or less than the whole Number
What 0.6 as a whole number?
0.6 is less than 1. (3/5 as a fraction) and is not a whole number.
Does a mixed number always greater than a whole number?
NO because 1 and 1\2 is greater than 1 but less than 2. And 2 is a whole number.
When you divide a mixed number by a fraction less than 1 will the quotient be greater or less than the whole number?
It will be greater.
What odd whole number less than 60?
1 is an example.
Is the product of a fraction less than one and a whole number less than or greater than the whole number?
It depends: If the whole number is positive then the result is less than the whole number, eg ½ × 2 = 1 < 2 If the whole number is negative then the result is greater than the whole number, eg ½ × -2 = -1 > -2
Is the product of fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than or less then the whole number?
It can be greater than or less than it.
Is the product of a fraction less than one?
product of a fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than or less than the whole Number
Is the product of a fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than or less than the whole number?
It can be either - depending on whether the whole number is negative or positive.
Is the product of a fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than less than the whole number?
No, the statement is not necessarily true.
Is 1 greater than or less than 9.7?
1 is 8.7 less than 9.7
Is a whole number more than a decimal number?
Not necessarily.0.5 < 1 < 1.5 So, the whole number 1 is more than the decimal fraction 0.5 but less than the decimal fraction 1.5 but the decimal fraction 0.5 is less than the whole number 1 while the decimal fraction 1.5 is more than the whole number 1.
When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1 the quotion is greater than the whole number why?
If you divided the whole number by Anything greater than 1 and the answer would be less than the whole number.If you divide the whole number by 1 the answer would be the same as the whole number.When you go smaller than 1 - say 0.5 then this is the same as a half 1/2 and there are 2 halves in the number 1Thus if you divide the whole number by 0.5 the answer would be twice the whole number.
What 0.6 as a whole number?
0.6 is less than 1. (3/5 as a fraction) and is not a whole number.
Does a mixed number always greater than a whole number?
NO because 1 and 1\2 is greater than 1 but less than 2. And 2 is a whole number.
What whole number divided by 7 is less than 1?
Any number below 6 has a quotient less than 1.
Can the product of a whole number and a decimal number less than 1 ever be greater than the whole number?
Yes. -5 × 0.5 = -1 -1 is greater than -5.
