No, this will find a common multiple, but not always the least. For example, 2 and 4 have a least common multiple of 4 but if you multiply them you get 8. In fact, the LCM will only be the product of two numbers if the numbers have no common factors. We call numbers with no common factors relatively prime.
What else can I help you with?
Can you always find the least common multiple of 2 numbers by multiplying them together?
No, that will not always work. in the case for some numbers it will work. for example 3 * 4 = 12. it works here. however if you do that for 30 and 20, you will get 600. the real lowest common multiple is 60. so it does not always work.

What if there is no LCM in a fraction problem?

What is the average of first 10 odd whole numbers?
The average is 10. You will find that the average when adding together the first n odd numbers is always equal to n.
Can a set of data always have a median?
Yes, it can. Even if you have an uneven amount of numbers you can find the median by taking to two middle numbers, adding them together and then dividing by 2.
