Answer:

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.
