Key Words
Prime number:
A whole number greater than one that has exactly two factors, the number 1 and itself
.
The numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 17 are all examples of prime numbers.
Composite number:
A number with more than two factors
.
The number 12 is a prime number because we can break it into more than 2 factors: 2 x 6, 3 x 4, 1 x 12Slide4
Prime factorization
Prime factorization:
Writing any composite number as a product of its prime factors
.
Every number can be written as a product of its factors
.
You can also write any composite number as a product of its prime factors, which is called prime factorization
.
When you write the prime factorization, it is always a good idea to write the factors in order from least to greatest.Slide5
Prime factorization
If you’ve done factorization before, you may have used factor trees to find the prime factorization of a
number
Because division is the opposite of multiplication, you can start the factorization process by asking,
“What two numbers multiply to equal 36?”
36
12
3
Now ask yourself, "Can 12 or 3 break down into smaller numbers, or are they prime
?”
3 is a prime number so let’s circle it
What about the number 12? Can we break it down into smaller parts?
6
2
Okay, 12 can be broken down into 6 times 2. Are either of those numbers prime
?
2 is prime so let’s circle it
How can we break down 6?
Finally, 6 can be factored into 3 × 2. Both numbers will go into our prime factorization of 36

Least Common Multiple
Multiple:
A number that is created when it is multiplied by other numbers
.
Least common multiple:
The smallest of the common multiples between two or more numbers, also known as the LCM.Slide9
Finding the Least Common Multiple
Finding the LCM from a list
Find the LCM of 2 and 3
Step 1: Identify the multiples of the two numbers
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Step 2: Identify the common multiples
2, 4, 6, 8, 10,
12, 14, 16, 18 3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Step 3: Identify the least common multiple (LCM)
6 is the smallest and is the LCM.Slide10
Finding the Least Common Multiple
Find the LCM using prime factorization
Find the LCM of
4
and
6
Find the prime factorization of 4 and 6
Identify the factors in prime factorization that they have common.
4 = 2 × 2
6 = 2 × 3
Calculate the LCM
Both numbers have one 2 in common, so it will be used only one time.
There is also an extra factor of 2 and an extra factor of 3 that do not appear in both prime factorizations. Multiply the common factor with all extra factors.LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12
The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
Both 4 and 6 have a factor of 2 in common

Greatest Common Factor
Greatest common factor:
The largest factor shared in common by two or more numbers, also known as the GCF.Slide14
Finding the GCF
Finding the GCF using a list
Find the GCF of 12 and 18
Step 1: Identify the
factors
of the two numbers
12 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Step 2: Identify the common factors
12: 1
, 2, 3, 4,
6, 12 18: 1,
2, 3,
6, 9, 18Step 3: Identify the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
6 is the largest and is the GCFSlide15
Finding the GCF
Finding the GCF using prime factorization
The GCF of 36 and
54
Find the prime factorization of
36
and
54
Identify the factors in prime factorization that they have common.
36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
2 x 3 x 3 x 3
54 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
The greatest common factor is the product of all of the common prime factors.
GCF = 2 × 3 × 3 = 18Slide16
Try It
Find the GCF of 48 and 96Slide17
Check your work
48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
96 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
GCF = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
GCF = 48Slide18
Using the GCF with the Distributive Property
One use of the GCF
is with the distributive property. First, recall the distributive property with this visual below to see how 4 x (2 + 6) is the same as 8 + 24.
The distributive property shows the 4 rows of 2 yellow boxes plus 6 green boxes is the same as 4 rows of 2 yellow boxes plus 4 rows of 6 green boxes.
What is happening is that the 4 is being distributed by multiplying it with each number being added in the parentheses to get 4 × 2 + 4 × 6Slide19
Using the GCF with the Distributive Property
Use the greatest common factor and the distributive property to express 44 + 16 in a different way
First, identify the GCF of both numbers by listing the factors
The factors of 44: 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44
The factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
The GCF is 4.
Then rewrite the problem using the distributive property
Since the GCF is 4, you can divide both 44 and 16 by 4. When you do this, place the GCF on the outside and the two quotients remain in parentheses.
44 + 16 = 4 × (11 + 4)
Also, 4 × (11 + 4) can be written as 4(11 + 4).
So how do you know this is correct?
Just calculate the sum.
44+16 = 4(11+4)
44+16 = 4(15)
60 =
60Both sides are equal.Slide20

How can you rewrite the sum of 18 + 48 using the GCF?Slide21
Check your work
How can you rewrite the sum of 18 + 48 using the GCF?
First, identify the GCF of both numbers by listing the factors
The factors
of 18:
1, 2,
3, 6, 9, 18
The factors of
48:
1, 2,
3, 4,
6, 8, 12,16, 24, 48The GCF is 6.
Then rewrite the problem using the distributive property
Since the GCF is 6, you can divide both
18 and 48 by 6. When you do this, place the GCF on the outside and the two quotients remain in parentheses.
18 + 48 = 6 × (3 + 8) Also, 6 × (3 + 8)
can be written as 6 (3 + 8) Slide22
