  1. GREATEST COMMON FACTOR CONFIDENTIAL

  2. LET’S CHECK WHAT WE KNOW 1. Tell whether each number is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 10. 1. 67 2. 145 3. 891 4. 202 2. Find the Prime factorization of: i) 63 ii) 8 iii) 120 iv) 264 v) 28 CONFIDENTIAL

  3. FACTOR FACTS FACTORS • When a number divides another number exactly, the first number is called the factor of the second. • 1 is a factor of every number. • The greatest factor of the number is the number itself. • If a number can divide another number leaving no remainder, it is a factor. CONFIDENTIAL

  4. Finding factors is easy FINDING FACTORS Find the factors of 24 Since 1 is a factor of every number, it is a factor of 24. 24 ÷ 2 = 12; 24 ÷ 3 = 8; 24 ÷ 4 = 6; 24 ÷ 6 =4; 24 ÷8 = 3; 24 ÷ 12 = 2. Also, 24 is the factor of itself. Therefore, the factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 CONFIDENTIAL

  5. Do some problems to find factors • Find the factors of the following numbers: • 36 • 42 • 35 • 33 • 21 Let’s do it ! CONFIDENTIAL

  6. Use of a Venn Diagram to represent common factors • A Venn Diagram uses overlapping circles to show the similarities and differences of two groups of items. Any item that is located where the circles overlap has a characteristic of both circles. CONFIDENTIAL

  7. Representation of Factors and Common factors in a Venn Diagram • The Venn Diagram below shows the common factors of 12 and 18 4 1, 2 3, 4 9 18 12 The common factors are 1, 2, 3, 4. CONFIDENTIAL

  8. Finding Common Factors • Find the common factors using Venn Diagram: • 9 and 15 • 18 and 24 • 15 and 35 CONFIDENTIAL

  9. Greatest Common Factor (GCF) • Numbers often have common factors. The greatest of the common factors of two or more numbers is the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers. CONFIDENTIAL

  10. Have a break !!! CONFIDENTIAL

  11. How to find the greatest common factor Factors of 8 Factors of 12 • Find the GCF of 8 and 12 1 2 4 3 6 12 8 The common factors are 1, 2, 4. The greatest common factor among them is 4 CONFIDENTIAL

  12. Try to do it • Find the GCF with the help of Venn Diagram a. 48 and 96 b. 35 and 60 c. 12 and 13 CONFIDENTIAL

  13. Finding the GCF by Listing Factors The common factors are 1, 2, 5 and 10. The greatest among them is 10. GCF = 10 • Find the GCF of 20 and 30 CONFIDENTIAL

  14. Now your turn • Find the GCF of the following by listing the factors: 1. 25 and 28 2. 15 and 30 3. 24 and 48 CONFIDENTIAL

  15. Find the GCF by using Prime Factors Method 2 Divide 20 and 35 by 5 Since we will not be able to divide 4 and 7 with the same number, 5 is the GCF 35 20 • Find the GCF of 20 and 35 Method 1 10 5 7 2 2 2 5 5 20, 35 4 , 7 The common factor is 5 and GCF is 5 CONFIDENTIAL

  16. Let’s look at another example! 36: 2, 2, 3, 3 24: 2, 2, 2, 3 36 and 24 share two 2’s and one 3 in common. GCF: 12 CONFIDENTIAL

  17. GCF of two or more numbers • The GCF of two or more numbers is the product of the common prime factors of the numbers. • Example: Find the GCF of 18 and 24 The quotients cannot be divided further by a common prime factor GCF = 2X3 = 6 CONFIDENTIAL

  18. Now try to do it • Find the GCF by prime factorization method: • 36, 48 • 72, 81 • 99,110 CONFIDENTIAL

  19. What is hidden? • http://www.thekidzpage.com/onlinejigsawpuzzles/kids-jigsaw-puzzles/12-piece-jigsaw/08-08-06-spider.html CONFIDENTIAL

  20. Practice Problems Wow!!! I. Find the GCF with the help of Venn Diagrams a) 10, 30 b) 12,18 II. Find the GCF by listing factors: a) 18, 42 b) 16, 52, 76 III. Find the GCF by prime factorization: a) 36, 90 b) 9, 18, 42 CONFIDENTIAL

  21. Use GCF to solve real life situations • Mr. Stephan has 4 storage cases that can hold 16, 24,36 and 48 files. The cases have sections holding the same number of files. What is the greatest number of files in a section? The quotients cannot be divided further by a common prime factor The greatest number of files in a section is 4 CONFIDENTIAL

  22. Solve this problem with GCF • Mohammed wants to put 45 rose plants, 81 orchids and 63 hibiscus plants in his garden. If he puts the same number of plants in each row and each row has only type of plant. What is the greatest number of plants he can put in one row? How to do this? Hmmm….. CONFIDENTIAL

  23. Assignment Find the GCF using Venn Diagram I can do it… 1) 9, 18 and 42 Find the GCF by Listing Factors 2) 12, 36, 48 Find the GCF by Prime Factorization 3) 27, 54, 18 CONFIDENTIAL

  24. Review • Greatest Common Factor The greatest of the common factors of two or more numbers is the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers. • There are two ways to find GCF: • Make a list of factors • Use Prime Factorization CONFIDENTIAL

  25. Great Job! CONFIDENTIAL
