LCM for 9 and 7

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 9 and 7?

Answer: LCM of 9 and 7 is 63

(Sixty-three)

Finding LCM for 9 and 7 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 7 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 9 and 7 is 1, so

LCM = (9 × 7) ÷ 1

LCM = 63 ÷ 1

LCM = 63

Finding LCM for 9 and 7 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 7 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81

Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77

So the LCM for 9 and 7 is 63

Finding LCM for 9 and 7 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 9 and 7 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 9: 3, 3 (exponent form: 32)

All Prime Factors of 7: 7 (exponent form: 71)

32 × 71 = 63
