LCM is short for "least common multiple", and it simply means the smallest positive number that is a multiple of two or more numbers that you provide. For example, common multiples of 10 and 15 include 30, 60, 90, etc., but the smallest (least) of those is 30.

How would you explain the LCM of the two numbers is their product?
The LCM of two numbers is their product if and only if the two numbers are co prime, that is their HCF is 1. Otherwise their LCM in not their product, in fact, it is their product divided by their HCF.
