Well, honey, that statement is as true as Dolly Parton's hair being fabulous. When you find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of an odd and even number, the result will always be even because the LCM is the smallest number that both numbers can divide into evenly. And let's face it, odd numbers just can't hang with the even crowd when it comes to being even themselves.

The least common multiple (LCM) of any two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. When finding the LCM of an odd and even number, the result will always be even. This is because the LCM will have at least one factor of 2 from the even number, making it divisible by 2 and therefore even.
