The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of those two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. It the two numbers are coprime (or relatively prime), their greatest common factor is 1. Therefore, their least common multiple is a x b ÷ GCF (of a and b) = a x b ÷ 1 = a x b. The least common multiple of two coprime numbers is the numbers multiplied together.

The product of two or more nonzero whole number would it be a multiple or would it be a least common multiples?
It would be a multiple. The word "LEAST" (in Least Common Multiple) is a superlative adjective and that means there can be only one. The result would be a least common multiple only if every pair of the numbers were coprime.
What are the steps in finding the least common multiple of two numbers?
to find the least common multiple of two numbers you must list the factors then you can find out their least common multiple of the two numbers
What is the least common multiple of 108?
You need at least to numbers to find a least common multiple.
What is the least common multiple of 1824?
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 1824, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
What is the least common multiple of 132?
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 132, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
