Is the smallest LCM of a number is the number itself?

Answer 1

Umm, you're question seems to have been a bit garbled. If the question was meant to be: Is the LCM of a single number the number itself? In that case the answer is...N/A... LCM (Least Common Multiple) MUST be at least two numbers. Otherwise "common" has no meaning in the title and the least multiple of any number would be 1 x0 =1, x1 =x, etc...

However, if the question was meant to be something like: If a number is a multiple of another number, is their LCM the larger number? In that case, yes.


P.S. "Is the smallest lcm" is redundant. Smallest and least are identical in this situation.
