Then why would the clocks run faster?

You have to deduct 7 microseconds from the overall number for the time dilation aspect of the atomic clocks on the satellites.
Lol mate do you know why it works?

Mate. Do you not understand that the proof is in the pudding? GPS works. No one needs to show any maths...it works.
It's like quantum mechanics. It's weird as hell...but it works.

US navy flies the gps sats. Do you think anyone there can answer my ques posed to you as I know no one from ats can answer ?

A lot of scientists feel relativity can't be complete because of the prediction of infinite density in a black hole, etc, so not only would they accept a better theory, they are actually looking for one. But it's really hard to come up with a new theory that matches all previous observations and experiments better than the current theory.
Lol make up your mind. Time compression(faster), Time dilation(slower). So further from the earth is which?

They are further from the mass of the earth.
Lol, I asked you for the equations.

I am not asking for an analogy.
Am asking for actual equations from GR and the values applied to those equations.
The analogy had the actual math from Relativity, did you do the equations?

Shifting goal posts again eh. Its evident that you have also gobbled up the ridiculous GR like the MS.
Dunno, if you have read the op or not.

Because an observer on the ground sees the satellites in motion relative to them, Special Relativity predicts that we should see their clocks ticking more slowly (see the Special Relativity lecture). Special Relativity predicts that the on-board atomic clocks on the satellites should fall behind clocks on the ground by about 7 microseconds per day because of the slower ticking rate due to the time dilation effect of their relative motion.
Further, the satellites are in orbits high above the Earth, where the curvature of spacetime due to the Earth's mass is less than it is at the Earth's surface. A prediction of General Relativity is that clocks closer to a massive object will seem to tick more slowly than those located further away (see the Black Holes lecture). As such, when viewed from the surface of the Earth, the clocks on the satellites appear to be ticking faster than identical clocks on the ground. A calculation using General Relativity predicts that the clocks in each GPS satellite should get ahead of ground-based clocks by 45 microseconds per day.
The combination of these two relativitic effects means that the clocks on-board each satellite should tick faster than identical clocks on the ground by about 38 microseconds per day (45-7=38)! Source

What proof do you have? Complicated math?
Well buddy here is something new, nature doesn't do math.
