Depends...

If you mean "any rational number less than 1," meaning you could use negative numbers like -3 and -4, then the answer is "no."

   example:   (-3)(-4) = 12.

As a general statement, the answer would be no.

If the context was that you were working only with positive numbers, then "less than 1" would imply "between 0 and 1" and the answer would be "yes".
