You can always find a common multiple of two numbers by multiplying them together; it will not always be the least common multiple. As one counterexample, if one of the numbers is a multiple of the other, the first number is the LCM of the two.
9 x 3 = 27
The LCM of 9 and 3 is 9.
4 x 6 = 24
The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
Positive A simple rule to remember this is when multiplying two numbers with the same sign, the result is ALWAYS positive. When multiplying two numbers with different signs, the results is ALWAYS negative.
Yes, the least common multiple of two numbers is always divisible by those numbers' greatest common factor.
Yes. If A and B are any two whole numbers then A*B is a common multiple. Then either A*B is the least common multiple of A and B or one of its factors is.
Not always. The product of two numbers will always be a common multiple, but it will not always be least. The product of 4 and 9 is 36. The LCM of 4 and 9 is 36. The product of 4 and 8 is 32. The LCM of 4 and 8 is 16.
If you multiply 2 prime numbers. the result will never be prime. A prime number is one that has no factors except itself and one. The number specified in the question has as factors the 2 prime numbers cited.
No you can't, but sometimes you can.
No, that will not always work. in the case for some numbers it will work. for example 3 * 4 = 12. it works here. however if you do that for 30 and 20, you will get 600. the real lowest common multiple is 60. so it does not always work.
This does not work when one of the numbers is negative.
Yes, two natural numbers always have a least common multiple.
No, only if the numbers are relatively prime.
28, 56, 84 you can always find a common multiple of two numbers by multiplying them (but that won't always be the least common multiple)... the other common multiples can b found by multiplying that number with any other positive integer... for example, if you have two numbers (a and b), then one of their common multiples is a x b (but not always the smallest one), and the others are 2 x a x b, or any other positive integer times a x b
No, multiples and product do not mean the same thing. Multiples are the result of multiplying a number by an integer, resulting in a sequence of numbers that are all divisible by the original number. The product, on the other hand, is the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. In simpler terms, multiples are the numbers in the times table of a given number, while the product is the result of multiplying numbers.
No. It depends on how good you are at arithmetic.
The product of 51 multiplied by 5 is 255. This can be calculated by multiplying the two numbers together: 51 x 5 = 255. The result is a multiple of 5, as any number multiplied by 5 will always result in a multiple of 5.

Yes, the least common multiple of two numbers is always divisible by those numbers' greatest common factor.
