Lesson 1.2 Prime Factorization – LCM - GCF

• Prime Numbers:
prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 23. If we can make it by
multiplying other whole numbers it is a Composite Number.

Prime 2 3 5 7 11
X2 X2

Composite 4 6 9 10 14

• The Key prime Factors are 2, 5 and 10

• Least Common Multiple (LCM)


- What’s the LCM of 2 numbers?
a) LCM of 3 and 5
3x1=3 5x1=5
3x2=6 5 x 2 =10
3x3=9 5 x 3 = 15
3 x 5 = 15 5 x 4 = 20
3 x 6 = 18 5 x 5 = 25
3 x 7 = 21 5 x 6 = 30
3 x 8 = 24
3 x 9 = 27
3 x 10 = 30
15, 30 are common multiples of 3 and 5, and if we continue we will find other
common multiples.
15 is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3 and 5

b) LCM of 4 and 5
4x1=4 5x1=5
4x2=8 5 x 2 =10
4 x 3 = 12 5 x 3 = 15
4 x 5 = 20 5 x 4 = 20

4 x 10 = 40 5 x 8 = 40

20 and 40 are common multiples of 4 and 5, and if we continue, we will find other
common multiples.
20 is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4 and 5.

6 x 2 = 12
6 x 3 = 18
Exercise

1- Find the LCM of:


a) 6 and 4
b) 12 and 8

• Greatest Common Factor (GCF):


- What’s the GCF?

The highest number that divides exactly into two or more numbers.

a) GCF of 12 and 16
2 12 2 16
12 = 2 x 2 x 3
2 6 2 8
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 3 3 2 4

GCF is 4 1 2 2

b) GCF of 12 and 30
2 12 5 30
12 = 2 x 2 x 3
2 6 2 6
30 = 5 x 2 x 3 3 3 3 3
