If the question is in the context of integers and prime factorisation, then it is the number 1.
If the question is about the product of two real numbers, the answer is when both factors are between 0 and 1, or when one of the factors is greater than 1 and the other is negative.

When one factor is less then 1 is the product greater or less than the other 2 factors?
If there are three factors, then one of them being less than 1 does not imply anything about the product of all three and either of the other two factors. For example, 2 = 0.5*1*4 where the first factor is less than 1. The product 2 is less than one of the other factors but bigger than the last.
Is the product of two mixed numbers less than between or greater than the two factors?
yes because it is greater than 1
When is the product of 2 integers less than or equal than to both of two factors?
That happens when only one of the two integers is negative.
When is the product of two nonzero integers less than or equal of the two factors?
When one of the numbers is positive and the other is negative.
How can you determine from the prime factorization wheather the least common multiple of two numbers is the prouduct of the numbers or is less then the prouduct of two numbers. explain your thinking?
If the two numbers have no common factors (other than 1), then the LCM is equal to the product of the two numbers. If they have some factors in common, then those factors need only be used once when multiplying, so the LCM will be less than the product of the two numbers.
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.
When you multiply two thirds by a fraction less than one how does the product compare to the factors?
The product is less than either factor.
How can you determine whether the LCM of two numbers is the product of the numbers or is less than the product of the numbers explain?
If the two numbers have no common factors other than 1, the LCM will be their product. If there are other common factors, the LCM will be less.
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.
When one factor is less then 1 is the product greater or less than the other 2 factors?
If there are three factors, then one of them being less than 1 does not imply anything about the product of all three and either of the other two factors. For example, 2 = 0.5*1*4 where the first factor is less than 1. The product 2 is less than one of the other factors but bigger than the last.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
Is the product of two mixed numbers less than between or greater than the two factors?
yes because it is greater than 1
When is the product of two decimals less than both factors?
when the numbers are between 0 and 1
When is the product of 2 integers less than or equal than to both of two factors?
That happens when only one of the two integers is negative.
When is the product of two nonzero integers less than or equal of the two factors?
When one of the numbers is positive and the other is negative.
How can you determine from the prime factorizations whether the least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the numbers or is less than the product of the two numbers?
If none of the prime factors are in common, the LCM will be the product of the two.
How do you know when two pairs of numbers will have an LCM that is less than the product of the numbers?
When their GCF is greater than 1. When they have prime factors in common.
