If \((X,\Sigma,\mu)\) is a \(\sigma\)-finite measurable space, \(u\) a scalar valued measurable function on \(X\), then \(M_uf(x)= u(x)/f(x)\), \(f\in L_p(\mu)\) be the multiplication operator. The paper presents conditions for the multiplication operator to be bounded and to have closed range from \(L_p(\mu)\) into \(L_q(\mu)\) for various \(1\leq p,q\leq\infty\). Similarly for a composition operator \(C_\varphi: L_p(\mu)\to L_q(\nu)\), \(C_\varphi f(y)= f(\varphi(y))\), \(f\in L_p(\mu)\) and \(\varphi:X\to Y\) a nonsingular measurable function, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for this operator to be bounded and to have closed range for different \(1\leq p,q\leq\infty\).
