When you divide a number by a divisor less than one will the quotient be smaller or larger than the dividend?

When you divide a number by a divisor less than one, the quotient will be larger than the dividend. This is because dividing by a fraction (which is what a number less than one represents) effectively increases the value of the dividend. For example, dividing 10 by 0.5 yields 20, which is greater than 10.
