No matter how big a number is, we can always add one or multiply by two or more.

No matter how small a number is, we can always divide it by two or take away a given percentage of it.

No matter how small a negative number is, we can always make it smaller!

Math knows no limits. Math has no boundaries. The limitations in math and numbers are only those of practicality and imagination

Here's how to figure these out. First, which is the biggest number (ignore the sign for now). Got it? Okay, now if it has a negative sign in front, that's your smallest number. In the list above, the biggest number does indeed have a negative sign, so it's your smallest. If it doesn't, then it's your biggest number. A negative sign turns your biggest into your smallest. The smallest number is either the positive number that is closest to zero in a list, or if the list has negative numbers, then it is the biggest negative number (that would make it the farthest away from zero).
