No, because 2 is prime.
Otherwise the product of two odds is odd, and all primes are odd except 2.

Why are the multiples of any number other than one not prime numbers?
The multiples of any number cannot be prime numbers because such numbers are the product of at least two numbers. Prime numbers, but definition, cannot be cannot be the product of any numbers except itself and one.
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.
Is even number times even number always even?
Yes, it is. Any whole number times an even number will be even. This is because whole numbers can be represented as the product of their prime factors. Every even number contains 2 as a prime factor (thereby excluding all even numbers above 2 from being prime.) Additionally, the product of any two numbers is equal to the product of their prime factors. This means that the result of multiplying an even number by a whole number will always have a prime factor of 2, making it an even number.
Can a prime number be multiple of any other number except itself explain why or why not?
A prime number can be multiplied by any other numbers because all whole numbers are the product of prime numbers.
Can you find the LCM of a prime number?
No. You can only find the LCM of at least two numbers, prime or otherwise. The LCM of any two prime numbers is their product.
Are there any pairs of prime numbers that when multiplied do not make their least common multiple?
The product of all pairs of prime numbers is always the least common multiple of the two prime numbers.
Is it true that the product of any two prime numbers are always odd?
Not always because as for example 2*19 = 38
When is the product of two prime numbers not a prime number?
The product of any two numbers, neither of which is 1, is never a prime number.
Is the product of any two odd number always prime?
NO. The product of any two prime numbers are not always odd.Examples:2 x 3 = 62 x 5 = 102 x 11 = 22
Is the product for any two prime numbers always odd?
Without knowing what the product is, it will be difficult to help. Presumably, you can tell the difference between even and odd numbers. If you are trying to predict, the product of two evens is even, the product of two odds is odd and the product of an even and an odd is even.
Why are the multiples of any number other than one not prime numbers?
The multiples of any number cannot be prime numbers because such numbers are the product of at least two numbers. Prime numbers, but definition, cannot be cannot be the product of any numbers except itself and one.
Why is the least common multiple of 2 prime numbers their product?
Because prime numbers don't have any common prime factors. Their GCF is 1. Since the product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers equals the product of the numbers, the LCM has to be equal to the product.
What is the LCM of any two prime numbers?
Their product.
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.
Can any two prime numbers be relatively prime?
It is, and always is relatively prime.
When two different prime numbers are multiplied can the product be a negative integer?
Since prime numbers are defined as positive integers, any product of prime numbers will be positive.
What two numbers LCM that is the product of the numbers?
Any two that are relatively prime.
