Is the product of two positive numbers greater than either number?

A positive number is any number greater than zero. 1 is a positive number, so is 2, 2.5, 3.14159, 11, 11.25 etc 0.5 is a positive number. The product of two positive numbers is the result of multiplying them together. * 2 x 3 = 6 (the product). In this case the product is greater than either number. But... * 0.5 x 0.25 is 0.125. ~In this case the product is actually smaller than either of the two numbers! * Or 0.5 x 10 = 5 . Here the product is greater than 0.5 but smaller than 10. So the answer is ...sometimes!

Is the product of 2 positive numbers greater than either number?

Not always. Here are counterexamples: Cases involving 1: 1 x 1 = 1 1 x 3 = 3 Cases involving positive numbers less than 1: 0.5 x 10 = 5 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 Note that here we have positive numbers that are less than or equal to 1. When either number is less than 1, the product will not be greater than both numbers. Also, if either number is equal to 1, the product will be equal to the larger of the original numbers. A modified statement is the product P of two positive real numbers x and y such that x, y > 1, is greater than both x and y.
