If there are three factors, then one of them being less than 1 does not imply anything about the product of all three and either of the other two factors. For example, 2 = 0.5*1*4 where the first factor is less than 1. The product 2 is less than one of the other factors but bigger than the last.
yes because it is greater than 1
That happens when only one of the two integers is negative.
When one of the numbers is positive and the other is negative.
If the two numbers have no common factors (other than 1), then the LCM is equal to the product of the two numbers. If they have some factors in common, then those factors need only be used once when multiplying, so the LCM will be less than the product of the two numbers.
The factors are greater than the product.
The product is less than either factor.
If the two numbers have no common factors other than 1, the LCM will be their product. If there are other common factors, the LCM will be less.
If the GCF of a given pair of numbers is 1, the LCM will be equal to their product. If the GCF is greater than 1, the LCM will be less than their product. Or, stated another way, if the two numbers have no common prime factors, their LCM will be their product.

If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
yes because it is greater than 1
when the numbers are between 0 and 1
That happens when only one of the two integers is negative.
When one of the numbers is positive and the other is negative.
If none of the prime factors are in common, the LCM will be the product of the two.
When their GCF is greater than 1. When they have prime factors in common.
