we know that

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the product of the two numbers only when they are relatively prime.if two numbers share a common factor, then the LCM of two numbers is not the product of the two numbers.

Examples

1)
5,21


LCM=5*21\\ LCM=105

in this case the LCM of two numbers is the product of the two numbers

2)
8,10


8=2^(3) \\ 10=2*5


LCM=2^(3)*5\\ LCM=40

in this case the LCM of two numbers is not the product of the two numbers

therefore

the answer is

Sometimes
