The idea of the least common multiple is to find a multiple of two or more numbers, not of a single number. However, it makes sense to define the least common multiple of any single number as the number itself.

It would be a multiple. The word "LEAST" (in Least Common Multiple) is a superlative adjective and that means there can be only one. The result would be a least common multiple only if every pair of the numbers were coprime.
The least (or smallest) multiple is not a term typically used in mathematics. The least multiple of a number would be that number multiplied by 1. In other words, it would be the number itself.
That's known as the least common multiple, or LCM.
