GCF of 7 and 9
1
LCM of 7 and 9
63
How it works
Break each number into its prime factors:
- 7 = 7
- 9 = 3²
The GCF (1) multiplies the primes both share, at the lowest power each appears. The LCM (63) multiplies every prime that appears in either number, at the highest power — which is also 7 × 9 ÷ 1 = 63.
