That's because 0.01 is less than one.If you multiply a number by 1, you get the same number back.

If you multiply a positive number by a number that is less than one, you get back a number that is less than your original number.

Similarly, if you multiply a positive number with something that is more than one, you get a result that is more than your original number.
