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
The number is -6.
If you multiply a number by a number greater than 1, you get a result that's greater than the first number. Example: 8 x 2 = 16; 16 is greater than 8.If you multiply a number by a number less than 1, you get a result that's less than the first number. Example 1: 8 x 0.5 = 4, which is less than 8. Example 2: 8 x (-1) = -8, which is also less than 8.

There is an infinite number of multiples of 132. Choose any number and multiply, this will give you a product. Which is the name given to the result of multiplying numbers together. If you choose a number less than 1 then the result will be less than 132 but is also a multiple of it.
