2. Least Common Multiple
What is a "Multiple" ? A multiple is the result of multiplying two numbers. To list the multiples we simply list the multiplication facts for a number.
The multiples of 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, etc ...
The multiples of 12 are: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, etc...

3. Least Common Multiple (Cont.)
Example: Find the least common multiple for 3 and 5: The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ..., and the multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, . As you can see on this number line, the first time the multiples match up is 15. Answer: 15

4. Example: Find the least common multiple for 4, 6, and 8
Multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, ... Multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, ... Multiples of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, ....
So, 24 is the least common multiple (I can't find a smaller one !)

6. Answers Find the LCM of 12 and 16 48 Find the LCM of 10 and 15 30

7. Factors Factors are numbers that divide evenly in a number.
Factors of the number 12
You can evenly divide 12 by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. Therefore, we can say that 1,2,3,4,6 and 12 are factors of 12. We can also say that the greatest or largest factor of 12 is 12.c

8. The greatest common factor of two or more numbers is the largest number that can divide evenly into each of the numbers.
Factors of 12 and 6
You can evenly divide 12 by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. You can evenly divide 6 by 1, 2, 3 and 6. Now look at both sets of numbers.
What is the largest factor of 12 and 6?
6 is the largest or greatest factor for 12 and 6.

9. Greatest Common Factor (Cont)
Factors of 8 and 32
You can evenly divide 8 by 1, 2, 4 and 8. You can evenly divide 32 by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. Therefore the largest common factor of both numbers is 8.

12. Adding and Subtracting Decimals
To add decimals, follow these steps:
Write down the numbers, one under the other, with the decimal points lined up
Put in zeros so the numbers have the same length
Then add normally, remembering to put the decimal point in the answer

14. Rate(Unit Rate) Example 1:
A rate is a ratio that compares quantities in different units. Rates are commonly found in everyday life. The prices in grocery stores and department stores are rates. Rates are also used in pricing gasoline, tickets to a movie or sporting event, in paying hourly wages and monthly fees.
A unit rate is a rate where the second quantity is one unit, such as $34 per pound, 25 miles per hour, 15 Indian Rupees per Brazilian Real, etc.
Example 1:
A motorcycle travels 230 miles on 4 gallons of gasoline. Find the average mileage per gallon.
For this problem, simply divide 230miles by 4gallons.
The motorcycle gets 57.5 miles per gallon.

15. Rate (Unit Rate) Example 2:
A copy machine makes 45 copies in 25 second. Find the unit rate of copies per second.
Step 1: Divide 45 by 25 to find the unit rate.
Answer: The copy machine makes 1.8 copies per second.

17. How to Solve an Equation
An equation is a statement that two quantities are equivalent.
To solve linear equations, you add, subtract, multiply and divide both sides of the equation by numbers and variables, so that you end up with a single variable on one side and a single number on the other side.
As long as you always do the same thing to BOTH sides of the equation, and do the operations in the correct order, you will get to the solution.

18. Solving Equations
For this example, we only need to subtract 1 from both sides of the equation in order to isolate 'x' and solve the equation:
x = 4 - 1
Now simplifying both sides we have:
x + 0 = 3
So:
x = 3

19. Try It Out Problems to try 1. X + 7 = 40 2. w – 11 = 106
3. 2w = ½ x = 3

20. Answers Problems to try 1. X + 7 = 40 x = 33 2. w – 11 = 106 w =117
3. 2w = 12 w= ½ x = 3 x = 6

21. Orders of Operations
Operations" are math computations to include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and using exponents. If it isn't a number it is probably an operation.
When you have an expression like (6 × )
... what operation is the first to compute? Step 1: Complete operations in the parentheses first
6 × (5 + 3)=6 × 8=48
Step 2: Evaluate Exponents × 22
=5 × 4= 20
Step 3: Multiply and/or Divide from left to right then add or subtract × 3 = =17
Step 4: If the problem only has multiplication and division or addition and subtraction, compute operations from left to right 30 ÷ 5 × 3 =6 × 3=18

22. Orders of Operations Try it On your on! Solve Each 3 x 15 ÷ 5 =

23. Answers

4 + 8 ÷ ( 4 ÷ 2) = 8
20 – = 25
5 (10 +17) = 135
72 ÷ = 10

24. Expressions and Terms
