Hi,

One of the properties of the LCM and GCF is that the LCM * GCF = XY

Assuming that the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) is 2, then we would have LCM * 2 = XY, or LCM = XY/2

(A) x + 1
(B) y - 1
(C) x - y
(D) xy - 1
(E) xy/2

[spoiler]ANS :E[/spoiler]
doesn't look to be the correct question (or something is missing)

x = 3 and y = 2... the answer doesn't satisfy.... similarly.. x=8 and y=3....

It says "which of the following could be the least common multiple", not that it must be.

Try X=6 and Y = 4

by value substitution in x and y
y= 2 and x = 4
lowest common multiple = 4
hence xy/2 is the right answer
