No. The least common multiple is the number of the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both numbers.

Example: 8 and 6. the Multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48...

The multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 40, 46...

These numbers have common multiples of both 24 and 40, so the "least" common multiple would be 24. The least common multiple of two numbers will never be less than either number.
