No you can't, but sometimes you can.
You can always find a common multiple of two numbers by multiplying them together; it will not always be the least common multiple. As one counterexample, if one of the numbers is a multiple of the other, the first number is the LCM of the two. 9 x 3 = 27 The LCM of 9 and 3 is 9. 4 x 6 = 24 The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
This does not work when one of the numbers is negative.
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.
Yes, by multiplying them together.
A board is 24 in long find all the whole numbers into lengths into which it can be divided.
To find the product of -8 and 24, you simply multiply the two numbers together. The result is -192. Multiplying a negative number by a positive number will always result in a negative product.
Total of the numbers divided by the numbers of times the figures appear
The easiest thing to do would be to simply plug it into a calculator. A "product" is simply the answer you get after multiplying numbers together. You could also do the math by hand by multiplying the two numbers together.
A product cannot exist of a single number - a product is formed by multiplying two separate numbers.
When multiplying numbers, count the number of significant figures in each number being multiplied. The result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures.
