This is a perception that each part of the situation stimulates the other to greater production than either by itself.
It is primarilly a phisilophical suggestion rather than an observation.
"Two hands are better than one" or "two minds are better than one." Both contain the
vapid assumption that each make a positive contribution when that is not necessarily the case. The suggestion is that "greater" may not necessarily be true.

Whole is greater than the sum of its parts means?
Often times the saying "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" is used to describe when it is believed that something has more value if it's separated into it's parts and sold separately than the whole thing. For example, sometimes large companies are believed to be worth more if they sold each division of the company separately rather than selling the whole company.
