How does the current in the parallel resistors compare with the main current flowing into the parallel resistors?
Short Answer

Solution
The main current divides among the parallel resistors. By conservation of charge, $$I = I_1 + I_2 + I_3$$, so the main current is greater than any one branch current. The branch with smaller resistance carries more current.
