Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers

Multiplying Fractions Multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, and simplify the fraction. 1 2 1 3 1 x = 6 3 5 1 2 3 x = 10

Multiplying Fractions by a whole number 3 4 Change the whole number to a fraction. 2 x 2 1 3 4 6 1 1 x = = 4 2

Simplifying Before Multiplying If any numerator and denominator have a common factor, you can simplify before multiplying. This will keep you from working with big numbers a lot of the time. 1 2 7 3 8 x 4 1 7 3 4 3 x = 28

Simplifying Before Multiplying 1 1 3 3 7 x 1 1 1 7 1 x = 7

Simplifying Before Multiplying 1 1 5 6 3 5 x 1 2 1 2 1 1 x = 2

Multiplying Mixed Numbers Rename the mixed numbers as improper fractions. Simplify then multiply. 19 1 4 76 9 1 4 4 9 x 8 x = 1 1 19 9 1 19 2 = x = 9 9

You Try…. 1) 1 8 1 9 3 12 4 5 1 2) 1 x x = = 72 5 1 3 1 3 6 7 2 7 3) 4) x = 6 x 2 6 2 =

Exponents and Prime Factorization

What is an exponent? An exponent is a little number high and to the right of a regular or base number. 3 4 Exponent Base

Definition of Exponent An exponent tells how many times a number is multiplied by itself. 3 4 Exponent Base 4 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 3

What is Exponential Form? Expressed in terms of a designated power Ex: 2 3 This is written in exponential form

What is Standard Form? When you simplify/solve the expression you put it in standard form. Ex: 2 3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 8 is standard form

How to read an Exponent This exponent is read three to the fourth power. 3 4 Exponent Base

How to read an Exponent This exponent is read three to the 2nd power or three squared. 3 2 Exponent Base

How to read an Exponent This exponent is read three to the 3rd power or three cubed. 3 3 Exponent Base

Let’s see who can read these exponents… 3 2 6 7 2 3 5 4

How would we write this in exponential form? 3 2 x 2 x 2 = 2

How would we write this in exponential form? 2 3 x 3 = 3

How would we write this in exponential form? 4 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 5

How to Multiply an Exponent to Find the Standard Form 4 3 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 9 27 81

Write in Standard Form 2 4 16 =

Write in Standard Form 3 2 8 =

Write in Standard Form 2 3 9 =

Write in Standard Form 3 5 125 =

Now Let’s Look at Prime Factorization

Prime and Composite Numbers Prime numbers are numbers that only have two factors: one, and the number itself. EXAMPLES: 3, 5, 7, 11, 31 Composite numbers have more than two factors. EXAMPLES: 6, 15, 18, 30, 100

A Product of Primes Every composite number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers. This is called prime factorization.

The product of the primes or primes factorization for 15 is Example 15 is a composite number. The product of the primes or primes factorization for 15 is 3 x 5

Let me show you an example: Prime Factorization of 100. 100 ÷ 2 = 50. Two is the first prime number that goes into 100. 2 is a prime number, so we are done with it. 2 X 50 Now we deal with the 50. Divide it by 2 to get the next factors. 25 is not divisible by the first prime, 2. The next prime, 3, does not work either. We must divide by 5 to get a factor. 2 X 25 5 x 5 Both numbers are prime, leaving us with all primes.

What’s the Answer? Just list the circled prime numbers in order from least to greatest with a multiplication sign between them. 2 x 2 x 5 x 5

Exponential Form We have just listed our prime factorization for 100 as being 2 x 2 x 5 x 5. This is repeated multiplication. Repeated multiplication can be expressed with exponents. 2 x 2 can be expressed in exponential form: 22 5 x 5 can be expressed as 52 Put it together, and 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 is more simply put as 22 x 52

Let’s do this one together… 420 2 x 210 2 x 105 Expanded Form: 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 3 x 35 or 22 x 3 x 5 x 7 5 x 7 Exponential Form:

Now, You Try! Find the Prime Factorization and Exponent of 16? / \ 2 8 / \ 2 4 / \ 2 2 The prime factors of 16 are: 4 or 2 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
