What will we learn today? Today we will factor numbers and determine if they are prime or composite.
Partner Share • What is 3 x 7? • What is the answer to a multiplication problem called?
Definition • Product – An answer to a multiplication problem. 7 x 8 = 56 Product
Definition • Factor – a number that is multiplied by another to give a product. 7 x 8 = 56 Factors
What are the factors?(What two numbers make that product?) 6 x 7 = 42 6 & 7 7 x 9 = 63 7 & 9 8 x 6 = 48 8 & 6 4 & 9 4 x 9 = 36
Definition • Prime Number – a number that has only two factors, itself and 1. 7 7 is prime because the only numbers that will divide into it evenly are 1 and 7.
Examples of Prime Numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 Special Note: One is not a prime number.
Definition • Composite number – a number that has more than two factors. 8 The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8 because 1x8=8 and 2x4=8
Examples of Composite Numbers 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15 Special Note: Every whole number from 2 on is either composite or prime.
Our Lonely 1 It is not prime because it does not have exactly two different factors. It is not composite because it does not have more than 2 factors. Special Note: One is not a prime nor a composite number.
How to use a factor tree • 48 Step 1 – Write down two factors. (What two numbers make 48?)
How to use a factor tree Step 2 – Find factors of these numbers until all factors are prime. (what makes a 6? What makes an 8?) • 48
How to use a factor tree Step 2– Find factors of these numbers until all factors are prime numbers.
How to use a Factor Tree Step 3– Write the numbers from least to greatest. Determine if the number is prime or composite. Factors of 48 are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,48 Hint: only write each digit once. Composite
Step 1– Write down two factors. Step 2 – Find factors of these numbers until all factors are prime Step 3 – Write the numbers from least to greatest. Determine if the number is prime or composite. Factor this number Composite Factors of 6 are: Hint: only write each digit once. 1,2,4,6
Step 1– Write down two factors. Step 2 – Find factors of these numbers until all factors are prime Step 3 – Write the numbers from least to greatest. Determine if the number is prime or composite. Factor this number • 8 Composite Factors of 8 are: Hint: only write each digit once. 1,2,4,8
Factor this number Composite Factors of 6 are: Hint: only write each digit once. 1,2,5,10
Factor this number • 20 Composite Factors of 8 are: Hint: only write each digit once. 1,2,4,5,20
Factor this number Prime Factors of 7 are: 1,7 Hint: only write each digit once.
Factor this number Prime Factors of 13 are: 1,13 Hint: only write each digit once.
