Question

Is the statement below always something or never true give at least two examples to support your reasoning the LCM of two numbers is the product of two numbers discuss your conditions with a partner

Answer 1

Sometimes, it is true

Explanation:

The L. C. M of two numbers could be the product of the two Given numbers. This happens sometimes but not always. For instance, the Lowest Common. Multiple of 4 and 5 is 20

4 : 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32

5 : 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,...

L. C. M = 20 ; 4 * 5 = 20

However, L. C. M of 4 and 8

4 : 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32

8 : 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

L.C.M = 8 ; 4 * 8 = 32

HENCE, L. C. M could be the product of the 2 numbers sometimes and it may not in other scenarios.
