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.

Can you always find the least common multiple of 2 numbers by multiplying them together?

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.

What are the common multiples of four and seven?

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


Do multiples and product mean the same?

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.
