Calculating the lowest common multiple of each pair of numbers in columns A & B.
Solution 1:

Use the MAX, LEFT, TEXT, and MIN functions in the following formula:
=MAX(A2:B2)*LEFT(TEXT(MIN(A2:B2)/MAX(A2:B2),"0000000/0000000"),7)

Solution 2:

Use the LCM function in the following formula:
=LCM(A2:B2)
