One quarter is 1/4
so 1/5, 1/6, 1/7 etc are all smaller.
Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
Proper fractions.
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.

1/4
It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.
Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
Proper fractions.
The difference between a quarter and an eighth in terms of fractions is that a quarter is equal to 1/4, while an eighth is equal to 1/8. This means that a quarter is larger than an eighth because 1/4 is greater than 1/8.
Yes, a quarter is less than a half. A quarter is equivalent to 1/4, while a half is equivalent to 1/2. Since 1/4 is smaller than 1/2, it confirms that a quarter is indeed less than a half.

To determine whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than, less than, or equal to 1, you need to add the numerators of the fractions together and compare the result to the common denominator. If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be less than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be equal to 1.

If you multiply by 1 they stay the same. If you multiply by more than 1 they increase. Fractions less than 1 are less than unity so the products decrease because you are only taking a fraction of the number.
Improper fractions are always > 1. Reason, the numerator (top) is always larger than the denominator(bottom). NB Improper fractions is the correct term for 'Top Heavy' fractions.
