You misinterpreted the property.

The property says: "The LCM of two or more integers is always AT LEAST as large as any of the integers". In other words it says that the LCM of two or more integers cannot be less than any of the integers.

Does this make sense?

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.
yeah its very much true...LCM of two numbers has to be at least as large as either of the numbers...as the LCM is always a multiple of two numbers and any multiple of an integer will always be as large as that number or more...
