Numbers

A factor is a number that goes into another number exactly with no decimals or remainders.
Example: 2 is a factor of 6
2 goes into 6 exactly 3 times
2 is not a factor of 5
Because 2 goes into 5 2.5 times

Find the factors of: 4,12,16,17,41,96
4- 1,2,4
12-1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
41- 1, 41
96-1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96

Prime Numbers are numbers with only 2 factors. Those factors are 1 and itself.

Composite Numbers are numbers with more than 2 factors (at least 3)

Determine whether each number are Prime or Composite: 1,9,13,28,31,41,51
1= Neither 9= Composite 13= Prime 28= Composite 31= Prime 41= Prime 51= Composite

A Multiple is a opposite of a factor.
Example: 10 is a multiple of 2
10 is a multiple of 5

Lowest Common Multiple : LCM
Find the lowest common multiple of 3 and 4
3-3,6,9,12,15,18,24,29,30
4-4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36
The Lowest common multiple is 12.

Find LCM
4 and 12
4-4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32......
12-12,24,36.....
The Lowest common multiple is 12

2 and 5 and 12
2-2,4,6,8,10,14............30
5-5,10,15,20,25,30
15-15,30
The Lowest common multiple is 30
Homework
Find all the factors of 10,18,37
Determine which numbers are Prime or Composite
2,11,12,27
Find the LCM of
2 and 4
3 and 5
6 and 7

  6. Great job Lara! I liked how you added in different varieties of colors and how you explained what L.C.M. meant and gave examples of it. One thing you could try to make your scribe more appealing, is try adding in a video or picture if possible. Other than that, great job on the scribe!
