a,b --> integers; a>250, b>250

if you are lucky to have on number prime here (do you remember the table of prime numbers beyond 250, yes/no will GMAt test, do you want to solve for >250 still?)
ok let's move on - if two numbers are prime, LCM is simply the product of these numbers; if one is prime and the other is not prime, still multiply both to get LCM;

for all other not prime integers --> perform prime factorization first for a and b; find the highest common factor (HCF) for a and b; multiply a*b and divide by HCF --> a*b/HCF=LCM
