what is the GCM of 9 and 7

Sagot :

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean the greatest common factor (GCF), or the lowest common multiple (LCM).

If you mean GCF, then it is 1 because 7 is a prime number and has two facotrs (1 and itself) and since 9 isn’t divisible by 7, the GCF must be 1.

If you mean the LCM, the answer is 63. Using prime factorisation, we find the lowest prime factor of both numbers:

9 = 3^3

7= 7^1

Then, we multiply these together to give 63.

You cannot have a GCM, because you can’t find a greatest common multiple as numbers go on forever.
