This is always true.

Explanation:

If #p# and #q# are distinct primes, then certainly their product #pq# is a multiple of both of them.

Any number less than #pq# would not be a multiple of both #p# and #q#, for otherwise it would have to have both #p# and #q# in its prime factorization, and would therefore have to equal #pq# or something greater.
