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 are square numbers one less than a prime number always even?

Prime numbers, except 2, are always odd (they would not be prime if they were even cos they would be divisible by 2.) 1 less than any odd number must be an even number.


How can you determine from the prime factorizations whether the least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the numbers or is less than the product of the two numbers?
