The only case when the result of a product of two factors is less than both of the factors is when both factors are less than 1.
Then, if we pick as factors the numbers 1/5 and 4/9 for example, we will get:
The product, 4/45, is less than the factors.
Other possible factor we could have chosen is 7/8 because it is smaller than 1.
Answer: for a product that is less than the factors we can choose the factors 1/5, 4/9 or 7/8.
