the number would be greater. if you think about normal multiplication, when you multiply a number by 1 the number stays the same, but when you multiple the number by less then one, i.e. a fraction you get a fraction of what you had. while a number greater then one, i.e. 2, the number increases. so 1.23 is greater then one so it would increase
