Factors and Multiples
1.1 p. 7-10
Vocabulary Start-Up p. 7
A common factor is a number that is a factor of two or more numbers; it is shared by numbers. The largest shared factor is called the (GCF) greatest common factor.*********************************************************The smallest (least) number that is a multiple of two or more whole numbers is the (LCM) or least common multiple of the set of numbers.Consider the numbers 6 and 9….Factors: 6: 1,6 9: 1,9 The largest shared factors is 3 (GCF) 2,3 3Multiples: 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 ….. The least shared multiple is 18 (LCM) 9: 9, 18, 27……

arrangements he can make?24
Finding Factors: p. 8
Remember how we wrote the
factors in pairs? Please try to
use this method!Our problem requires that we find the factors
of 10, 15, and 20
10 15 201, 10 2, 5
1, 15 3, 5
1, 20 2, 10 4, 5
The greatest number of cakes in each row is 5.
Reviewing factor pairs……..
Let’s find the common factors of 60 and 90. (board)

Using Primes to Find the GCFYour text shows factor trees as a way to use prime factors to find the GCF.
2 and 3 are the common prime
factors. We find their product for the GCF.
Using Primes to Find the GCF
You can also use something I call swim lanes to find the GCF.
12: (6 x 2)
18: (9 x 2)
2 3 2
2 3 3
Notice how the common primes are lined up?
2 · 3 = 6 GCF
Your Turn p. 8 Even if you just know the GCF, use one of the methods to practice.

Least Common Multiples: Text first p. 9
Use color-coded marks toshow the multiples of eachnumber. The SMALLEST number that has each of themarks is the LCM
Red and blue
This works this year…..it will not work when you have variables in the terms.
Moving on………..
1(2), 2(2), 3(3) …..1(3), 2(3), 3(3) ……
Here is a different way to think about this method…..Multiply what the terms SHARE by what they DON’T share.I really like this way!!!!

7 is the only common prime
Be patient……one more………
12: ( 6 x 2) = 2 x 3 x 220: ( 4 x 5) = 2 x 2 x 5
We now have a complete list of all factors, butwe will not duplicate the shared factors.
2 x 3 x 2 x 5 = 60 LCM
If you will remember, this is the same format we used to find theGCF………….in the set above, look for only the shared factors…….
2 x 2 = 4 GCF
Got it? p. 9 Use any method you choose…but use one!2, 6 4, 5, 10 * 3, 5, 7
2: 2, 4, 6, 8…6: 6, 12, 18…
LCM = 6
You only need to pay attention to the 4 and 10. Why?
4: 2 25: 510: 2 5
2 x 2 x 5 = 20
LCM = 20
THEY SHARE NOTHING!!
3 x 5 x 7 = 15 x 7 = 105LCM = 105
If the numbers share NO COMMON FACTORS just multiply them together!
This is a very common LCM problem. Learn to recognize this type of problem. The question will involve something that WILL happen………..
Guided Practice p. 10 Use any method you choose to solve these problems.

Read what they are asking. How many movies?4(5) = 20 20, 40, 60, 80….
3(5) = 15 15, 30, 45, 60…… When will BOTH of these events happen?
4, 8, 12 movies
