GCF of 4 and 7
1
LCM of 4 and 7
28
How it works
Break each number into its prime factors:
- 4 = 2²
- 7 = 7
The GCF (1) multiplies the primes both share, at the lowest power each appears. The LCM (28) multiplies every prime that appears in either number, at the highest power — which is also 4 × 7 ÷ 1 = 28.
