Is the product of two mixed numbers less than, between, or greater than the two factors

The product of two numbers is greater than the two factors. 
for example if we take two number 2 and 4. The product of 2 and is 2 x 4 = 8
now 8 is greater than 2 and also greater than 4. 8 is not less than 2 or less than 4 and not between the 2 and 4. So, the product of two number is greater than two factors. There is an exception also that the numbers will be positive.
