The correct answer is "lesser than the whole number"
If you take for example 1/2 x 2 = 1.
This is because one half of 2 is 1, meaning the result is a number smaller than the whole number used.
Since 'next' is a time-order word, you need another.
'Then' is a time-order word. You are not stating a 'fact', nothing happened abruptly, or 'suddenly', and you aren't comparing anything, 'similarly'.
