Question
8 and 12
3 and 15
7 and 11
9 and 10

Answer
Least common multiple, just means, what is the smallest number that both numbers will go into evenly. The LCM will never be larger than the product of both numbers, but sometimes *WILL BE* the product of the 2 numbers.

  
8 and 12 = 24
3 and 15 = 15
7 and 11 = 77
9 and 10 = 90
