The smallest positive number is 1. Since every positive number multiplied by 1 is the number itself as a product, then the product is neither less than 1 nor less that positive number. We can say the same for all the products of all other positive numbers. However, we can prove it: Let n, m > 0. Let suppose that nm < n or nm < m. So, nm < n divide by m to both sides; n < n/m is not true nm < m divide by n to both sides; m < m/n is not true Thus, the product of two positive numbers is always bigger than its factors.
