Rushik is interested in the properties of LCM. $LCM(x, y)$ is defined as the smallest number divisible by both $x$ and $y$. He has a question on LCMs and he wants you to find a solution. You are given two integers $l$ and $r$. Find two integers $x$ and $y$ such that $l \leq x \lt y \leq r$ and $l \leq x + y \leq r$ and $(x * y) / LCM(x, y)$ is *minimum possible.* If there are multiple solutions
