Why does a number get smaller when you multiply by a number less than one?

Because the number is decreasing in size (i.e. less than one) which means you are making it smaller. Try dividing a big number with any fraction. You'll see that it decreases. This is because a fraction is smaller than one and so it will decrease. Another way of looking at it is if you multiply a number by 1, you get the same number. Multiply by 2 and you get twice the number. Therefore, multiplying a number by less than one and your bound to get a smaller number.
