It can be but it is not always true.
One way to check: The product of the original two numbers is equal to the product of their GCF and LCM. If you divide that product by their GCF, you will get the LCM.
The new LCM is 12y.
As a general rule, the product of the GCF and the LCM is equal to the product of the original numbers. That would make the answer to this problem 6240. Unfortunately, the GCF of 348 and 6240 isn't 87 and their LCM isn't 24960. Someone notated this problem incorrectly.
Find the LCM of the first two numbers and then find the LCM of that number and the third one. That answer will be the LCM of all three.
The numbers are 12 and 5. 5 is seven less than 12 and the LCM of 5 and 12 is 60.
sometimes
Only if one of the numbers is a multiple of the other.
GCF - Greatest Common Factor (GCF is always smaller or equal to at least one of the numbers) LCM - Least Common Multiple (LCM is always greater or equal to at least one of the numbers)

Yes, if one of the numbers is a multiple of the other.
The product of the original numbers is equal to the product of the GCF and LCM. Divide the product of the LCM and GCF by the one number. The answer will be the other.
The LCM of 2 numbers can be one of those numbers when the large of the 2 numbers is 2 times the smaller one of those numbers. For example the LCM of 2 and 4 is 4. For example the LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
Yes, if the the number you are finding the LCM of is 1. But usually, LCM involves two or more numbers. While finding the LCM of one number is uncommon and technically an incorrect practice, it is possible.
The new LCM is 12y.
The LCM of two numbers is one of the numbers when one of the numbers is a multiple of the other. The LCM of two numbers is the product of the numbers when they are relatively prime. In all other cases (like consecutive even numbers that aren't 2 and 4) the LCM is as you describe.
In number theory, the product of two positive integers will equal the product of their GCF and LCM. Dividing that product by one of them will give you the other.
There is always an LCM. This one is 15,953.
