Find The Common Factors and GCF of The Following Number Pairs

Here are the steps to find the LCM of numbers: 1) Find all the factors of each number and write them as a product of prime numbers 2) The LCM is the product of all prime numbers that are common to both numbers, each raised to the maximum power that appears in either number. For example, to find the LCM of 6 and 9: 6 = 2 × 3 9 = 3 × 3 The common prime factors are 3, each raised to the power of 1. So the LCM of 6 and 9 is 2 × 3 × 3 = 18 I have provided the solutions to the problems you listed below: 1) LCM of 6 and 9 is 18

Least Common Multiple (LCM)

• The least common multiple is the smallest


number that is common between two lists of
multiples.
EXAMPLE:
Find the LCM of 12 and 18
The multiples of 12: The multiples of 18:
•12 x 1 = 12 •18 x 1 = 18
•12 x 2 =24 •18 x 2 = 36
•12 x 3 = 36 •18 x 3 = 54
•12 x 4 = 48 •18 x 4 = 72
•12 x 5 =60 •18 x 5 = 90
Multiple
A number that is the product of a
given number and a whole
number

• Example:
Greatest Common Factor
• What is the difference
between a factor and a
multiple?
• Give me an example of a
factor of 15
FACTORS
• A number or quantity that when multiplied
with another products a given number or
expression or the number gives a product

When thinking about finding the Least


Common Multiple, or the LCM…

REMEMBER
L…The smallest number
C…all terms in common
M…from their list of multiples
Least Common Multiple (LCM)

Important to Remember…
TWO
There are methods for finding
the Common Multiples of two or more
numbers…

Method 1…Use Multiple Lists


Method 2…Use Prime Factorization
Least Common Multiple (LCM)
Finding the LCM: Method 1 – Multiple List
Example 1: Find the LCM of 4 and 9.
Step 1: Create a list of multiples for each number
Step 2: Circle the first multiple the numbers have in common

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, …


9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63,…

The LCM of 4 and 9 is 36


Example 2:
Find the LCM of 9 and 10

9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72 81, 90, 99


10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 90, 100, 110
If you don’t see a common multiple, make
each list go further.

The LCM of 9 and 10 is 90


Least Common Multiple (LCM)
Finding the LCM: Method 2 – Prime Factorization
Example 1: Find the LCM of 4 and 9.
Step 1: Find the prime factorization of each number.
Step 2: Find the product of all the prime factors.

4 9 4: 2 · 2
2 2 3 3 9: 3·3

2·2 3·3 2·2 ·3·3 =

Carina baked puto. She wants
to pack them in boxes of 8
and 12 pieces. What is the
smallest number of pieces of
puto that she can pack using
the boxes?

To solve the problem, you need to find


he least common multiple or LCM of 8
and 12.
Here’s how you do it
By Listing Method
Write the multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48,
…
Write the multiples of 12 12, 24, 36, 48, 0, …
Common Multiples: 24, 48
Least Common Multiple (LCM): 24

By Prime Factorization
8=2×2×2
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
LCM: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24
