This happened several times in history. However, the most recent and largest decrease in the number of Jews occurred during World War II, when the Holocaust claimed the lives of 6 million European Jews.
A number of times: In several of the events in the wilderness (e.g. compare Numbers ch.2 to ch.26),
In several events in Judges (e.g. see ch.20),
In several events in the Books of Samuel and Kings (e.g. see 1 Samuel 31:1, and 2 Kings 6:25-30),
At the First Destruction,
In several events during Second Temple times,
At the Second Destruction (Josephus puts the slain at 1,100,000),
At the siege of Betar (see Talmud, Gittin 57a),

To decrease a number means to take away, or subtract, something from the number.
The amount of decrease from a larger number to a smaller number expressed as a percentage of the larger number. Going from 10 to 7 is a 30% decrease.
To determine a percentage decrease, ascertain the actual decrease, then divide this by the base number and multiply the result by 100. Decrease = a - b The base number (the number on which the decrease is based) = a Therefore, the percentage decrease = 100 x (a - b)/a % EXAMPLE : What is the percentage decrease of 15 to 11. Decrease = 15 - 11 = 4 : Base number = 15 Percentage decrease = 100 x 4/15 = 262/3 or 26.67%
You can decrease a number by 10 percent by multiplying it by 0.9
