The product is less than the other factor.
For example: 0.5 x 6 = 3. 3 is less than the factor that is greater than 1 (which is 6).

When one factor in multiplication is greater than one is the product greater or less than the other factor?
The terms (factors) used in multiplication are the multiplicand (the factor being multiplied), the multiplier (the factor that the multiplicand is multiplied by) and the product (the answer, or results of the multiplication). Any time either of the factors is greater than the other by at least one, the product will always be greater than the largest factor.
When one factor is less than one is the product greater or less than the other factor?
Smaller. Just try it out with some numbers; for example, 0.5 x 20 = 10 (10 is less than 20).
What do you know about the product if one of the factors is less than one?
The product will be less than the other factor.
If you multiply two decimals less than 1 can you predict whether the product will be less or greater than either of the factors?
No, you cannot. The answer can be greater than (or less than) neither, one or both numbers.For example,-4.5 and -2.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 9.9 which is greater than both.-4.5 and 0.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 0.9 which is less greater than one and less than the other.0.5 and 0.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 0.01 which is less than both.
The product of a decimal greater than one and a decimal less than one is greater than one?
not always.. take .0001 and 1.1, the product is less than 1.
When one factor in a multiplication problem is less than one is the product greater or less than the other one?
When one factor is less than one, the product will be less than the other factor.
When one factors in a multiplication problem is greater than 1 is the product greater or less than the other factor?
greater

When one factor is less then 1 is the product greater or less than the other 2 factors?
If there are three factors, then one of them being less than 1 does not imply anything about the product of all three and either of the other two factors. For example, 2 = 0.5*1*4 where the first factor is less than 1. The product 2 is less than one of the other factors but bigger than the last.
What do you know about the product if one of the factors is less than one?
The product will be less than the other factor.
When is the LCM of 2 numbers less than their product?
When they have a common prime factor. When their GCF is greater than 1.
Sorry What does the algebraic symbol less than greater than mean in an equation?
It means that one factor is greater than (>) or less than (<) some other factor.
When is then product of a negative integer and a positive integer less than both of its factors?
This is a clever question. I would say: "Always". To be more precise: The product is never greater than either factor, and if neither factor is ' 1 ', then the product is always less than both.
If you multiply two decimals less than 1 can you predict whether the product will be less or greater than either of the factors?
No, you cannot. The answer can be greater than (or less than) neither, one or both numbers.For example,-4.5 and -2.2 are both less than 1.

Their product is 0.01 which is less than both.
When you multiply two thirds by a fraction less than one how does the product compare to the factor?
The product is less than either factor.
Is the product of fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than or less then the whole number?
It can be greater than or less than it.
