Question

Is the statement below always,sometimes,or never true? Give at least 2 examples to support your reasoning. The LCM of two numbers is the product of the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer: Never true. 24 times 12 is 288, however the LCM for them is 3. 8 times 20 is 160, however the LCM for them is 2.

Explanation:

If you look at it by the fact that every number has a LCM of 1, and every even number has an LCM of 2, it is easy to take that and apply it to this question. Just factor in the numbers.
