Why do you think the least common multiple is not always the product of the two numbers?
The prime factorization of the LCM will contain all the prime factors of the two original numbers. When the original numbers don't have any prime factors in common, (the GCF is 1) the LCM will be their product. When the two original numbers have prime factors in common (the GCF is 2 or more) the duplicates will be discarded and the LCM will be less than their product.
Why is zero not a prime or composite?
A prime number is a number with two factors. Zero has no factors, and therefore, is not a prime number.A composite number is a number which can be expressed as a product of two or more non-zero integers. It is impossible to do this with 0.

Are all composite numbers the product of two prime number?
No not always because composite numbers can be the product of 2 or more prime factors

How can you determine if the least common multiple of 2 numbers is the product of the 2 numbers or less than the product of the 2 numbers?
If the GCF of a given pair of numbers is 1, the LCM will be equal to their product. If the GCF is greater than 1, the LCM will be less than their product. Or, stated another way, if the two numbers have no common prime factors, their LCM will be their product.
Is a product of two prime numbers a prime number?
No - because its factors include each of the two prime numbers.
