2 and 13
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.
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. You can only find the LCM of at least two numbers, prime or otherwise. The LCM of any two prime numbers is their product.
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 product of the GCF and LCM of two numbers is equal to the product of the two numbers. The other number is 126.
Of course they can: 2, 3 & 5: LCM 30
There are an infinite number of them: 872, 1744, 2616, 3488, 4360, 5232, 6104, 6976, 7848, 8720, 9592, 10464, ... All even multiples of the lowest common multiple (lcm) of any two numbers are even numbers divisible by the two numbers, and as there are an infinite number of even numbers, there are an infinite number of even numbers divisible by any two numbers, including 8 and 109. As lcm(8, 109) = 872 which is even, the odd multiples of the lcm are also even numbers exactly divisible by 8 and 109. So all multiples of the lcm of 8 and 109 are even numbers divisible by 8 and 109; and there are an infinite number of them!

No, 2 and 10 are factors of 20. The LCM of 2 and 10 is 10.
The LCM of one number is itself. LCM involves two or more numbers.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
Just write a method or function that calculates the LCM for two numbers at a time. Then calculate the LCM for the first two numbers, get the LCM of the result with the third number, etc.Just write a method or function that calculates the LCM for two numbers at a time.

Firstly, the LCM f a single number is the number itself.The LCM of many numbers is found by dividing the numbers with the smallest prime numbers until the numbers are completely divided and the remainder is zero.Then all the prime numbers used for dividing is multiplied and the LCM is found.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that two or more numbers will divide into evenly
If the second number is a multiple of the prime number, than the LCM is the second number. If the second number is not a multiple of the prime number, then the two numbers are relatively prime, and the LCM is the product of the two numbers.
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.
