When you multiply a number by another number your answer is always larger because it is repeated addition?

Not always. Only IF both numbers are more than ' 1 '.
If one of the numbers is less than '1', then the multiplication represents
addition less than one time, so you wind up with an answer that's less
than the number you started out with.
