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.
Your question is incomplete. Adding an even number with an odd number will always result in an odd number. Multiplying an even number with an odd number will always result in an even number.
"IT IS ALWAYS A ODD"
an odd numberSubtracting an odd number from an even number will always result in an odd number.
To find the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The number 26 can be broken down into 2 x 13. Since one number is even and the other is odd, the even number must contain a factor of 2. The LCM of an even number and an odd number will always be the product of the two numbers, in this case, 26.
No. Sum of odd + odd = even Sum of odd + even = odd Sum of even + even = even
