(a) LCM = 2 \times 2 \times 5 = 20

\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline 2 & {5,20} \\ \hline 2 & {5,10} \\ \hline 5 & {5,5} \\ \hline & {1,1} \\ \hline\end{array}

(b) LCM = 2 \times 3 \times 3 = 18

\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline 2 & {6,18} \\ \hline 3 & {3,9} \\ \hline 3 & {1,3} \\ \hline & {1,1} \\ \hline\end{array}

(c) LCM = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 = 48

\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline 2 & {12,48} \\ \hline 2 & {6,24} \\ \hline 2 & {3,12} \\ \hline 2 & {3,12} \\ \hline 3 & {3,3} \\ \hline & {1,1} \\ \hline\end{array}

(d) LCM = 3 \times 3 \times 5 = 45

\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline 3 & {9,45} \\ \hline 3 & {3,15} \\ \hline 5 & {1,5} \\ \hline & {1,1} \\ \hline\end{array}

Yes, it can be observed that in each case, the LCM of the given numbers is the larger number. When one number is a factor of the other number, their LCM will be the larger number.
