2. Prime Numbers? What are... Composite Numbers?
have more than two factors
have “exactly two factors”
1 and itself

3. Factors
are small
Multiples
are BIG!

9. Tip Test for success! Think smarter not harder! Example X X X X
Which of following are all prime numbers? X X
a. 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13,
b. 1, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13,
c. 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19 X X
Tip
Eliminate composite numbers first.
Then double check remaining numbers to make sure they are all prime.

15. Is this number a factor or a multiple of 12? Prove it!96
Multiple

16. Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
The greatest factor two numbers share.
1. List the factors for each number.
2. Circle common factors.
3. Choose the greatest factor.
30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
GCF = 15
15: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15

17. Least Common Multiple LCM: 6
Least multiple that more than one number share.
1. List the first 5 multiples of each number.
2. Choose the smallest multiple they both share.
LCM: 6
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
