The two numbers multiplied together.

Explanation:

The least common multiple of two numbers is the smallest multiple shared between both numbers. For example,

3 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
5 = 5, 10, 15

If the two numbers only share 1 as a common factor then you are guaranteed to not get a common multiple until the numbers are multiplied together (like above).
