Assuming you mean "the result is less than the first number", this isn't always true:
* The answer will indeed be LESS than the first number, if you divide by a number that is GREATER THAN one.
* On the other hand, the answer will be GREATER than the first number, if you divide by a number that is LESS THAN one.
For example, if you divide 6 by 2, you get 3, which is less than 6.
On the other hand, if you divide 6 by 1/2, you get 12, which is more than 6.
