$\huge{\mathtt{\fcolorbox{magenta}{aqua}{✤ ANSWER ✤ }}}$

Product of two whole numbers = 01

Yes, we can say that both of the numbers are 1 but one of them can't be 1.

$\: \: \: \: \:$

For example :-

Let, one number be 1

And, another be 2

So, 1 × 2 = 2

Therefore, if we take one number as 1 and another as 2 the result is 2.

___________________________________

Now, Let both numbers be 1

1 × 1 = 1

So, the result is 1.

___________________________________

Let us take one more example with one number as 1 and another number as 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.

So, 1 × 3 = 3

1 × 4 = 4

1 × 5 = 5

1 × 6 = 6

1 × 7 = 7

Hence it is verified that if both the numbers are one than only there product will be one other wise not.
