In relation to the LCM, the MGMAT guide says:

"The LCM of two or more integers is always AT LEAST as large as any of the integers".

This means that the LEAST possible value of the LCM of these integers is the value of the integer with the highest value, right?

Please confirm.

Yes, that is correct.

Example LCM of 8 and 16 is 16.

Yes, LCM of two numbers ...at the very least must be the bigger number of the two.

If it were less, then that LCM wouldn't go into the bigger number. That conflicts. So it must be the case that the LCM is (at the very least) the bigger number of the two.
