It depends.
If you start with a positive number, then
multiply by a positive greater than one and the answer is greater;
multiply by 1 and the answer is the same;
multiply by a number between 0 and 1 and the answer is smaller;
multiply by 0 and the answer is 0;
multiply by a number less than 0 and the answer is negative.

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.

To get a number that is slightly greater, multiply by a number that is slightly greater than 1 (ot slightly lee than= -1).
why do objects get bigger when you multiply/scale by a number greater than 1
A positive number is a number greater than zero. Therefore: 5 x 2 = 10 is one example.

When you multiply a number by 1, it stays the same. When you multiply a number by a number greater than 1, it increases. When you multiply a number by a number that is less than 1 (a proper fraction), it decreases.
You get a positive number which is larger than the original.
Bigger than it
Take any number greater than 10. Multiply it by itself. The answer will be a square number greater than 100 - and there is an infinitey of such numbers.
Multiply them by a number greater than 100.
It can increase, decrease or stay the same depending on what you multiply it by.
