Slide 57

Factors and Multiples Since the factor tree method is longer, in what situations would you choose to use this method, rather than the factor list method?

Slide 58

Factors and Multiples Since the factor tree method is longer, in what situations would you choose to use this method, rather than the factor list method? If the number has a long factor list.

Slide 59

Factors and Multiples Before you try either method, try and use Mr. Averys GCF rule. Mr. Averys GCF Rule If the smaller number goes into the larger number(s), the smaller number is the GCF.

Slide 60
