1. A candy company packs chocolate hearts into large cartons at their warehouse. They then ship these large cartons to various regions in the Northeast. The chocolate hearts from each carton will need to be divided evenly among either 6 or 8 stores, depending on the region in which the carton is shipped. What is the least number of chocolate hearts that the candy company should pack in each carton?

2. A multiple of a whole number n is a number that n multiplies into (or a number that n divides). Least Common Multiple of m and n [LCM(m, n)]: The smallest number of which m and n both multiply into. ( or the smallest number of which m and n both factors).

3. You want to divide 24 pens and 18 pencils into groups. How many groups can you create by using all of the pens and pencils, so that all groups are the same?

4. To Factor a whole number n means to write as a product of other whole numbers 2 is a factor of a number if the number is even 5 is a factor of a number if it ends in 5 or 0 3 is a factor of a number if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3 6 is a factor of a number if 2 and 3 are factors 9 is a factor of a number if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9 A Factor of a whole number n is a number that can multiply into n (or a number that divides n)

5. To Factor a whole number n means to write as a product of other whole numbers A Factor of a whole number n is a number that can multiply into n (or a number that divides n) Greatest Common Factor of m and n [GCF(m, n)]: The largest number that divides both m and n. –(Largest factor of m and n)
