Vocabulary • Greatest common factor (GCF) – the largest common factor of two or more given numbers
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) • What is a factor? • There are two methods to find the GCF • LIST METHOD • PRIME FACTORIZATION METHOD
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) 1 - LIST METHOD • List all the factors of each number • Circle the greatest factor that is all the lists
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) 2 – PRIME FACTORIZATION METHOD • Write the prime factorization of each number and circle the common prime factors • Multiply the common prime factors
Something else to think about . . . With the prime factorization method, you can figure out the GCF using exponential form. 2² x 3 x 5 2³ x 3² x 5 x 7 Use the powers they have in common. So they share 2² and 3 and 5. Now multiply these together and get 60—the GCF.
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) EXAMPLE 1: Find the GCF using a list. a. 28 and 42
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) EXAMPLE 1: Find the GCF using a list. b. 12, 36, and 54
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) EXAMPLE 2: Find the GCF using prime factorization. a. 30, 56
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) EXAMPLE 2: Find the GCF using prime factorization. a. 45, 18, 27
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) • EXAMPLE 3: Jenna has 16 red flowers and 24 yellow flowers. She wants to make bouquets with the same number of each color flower in each bouquet. What is the great number of bouquets she can make?
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) • Now you try…find the GCF of the set of numbers: • 12 and 15 2) 36 and 45
