1 Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiples GCF and LCM

2 What is the difference between a factor and a multiple?

3 Factor: An integer that divides evenly (no remainder) into a number Factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3, 6

4 Multiple: The product of a number and any natural number Some multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24……

5 Give me an example of a factor of 15

6 Give me an example of a multiple of 15

7 How would you find the GCF of 60 and 96?

8 You simply write out all the factors for each number. Then find the greatest number. I like to circle the numbers by using columns.

9 List the factors of 60: 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60 List the factors of 96 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96 find the largest factor - 12

10 Find the GCF of 36 and 24

11 Find the LCM of 12 and 18

12 Multiples of 12 are… 12,24,36,48,60,72,…. Multiples of 18 are… 18,36,54,72,90,108,… The smallest multiple the 2 numbers have in common is the least common multiple.

13 Find the LCM of 18 and 12
