 Problem A
Elvira is going to prepare bouquets of roses
and bouquets of daisies. She has 36 roses and
24 daisies. What is the greatest number of
each flower that she can use in a bouquet if
bouquets have the same number of flowers.

• What is Elvira going to do with the flowers?

• How many roses does she have?
• How many daisies?
 Problem B
Divina is going to prepare bouquets of roses with
5 roses to a bouquet and bouquets of daisies with 6
daisies to a bouquet. What will be the smallest
number of roses and daisies that she will need for her
bouquets?

• What is Divina planning to do?

• How many roses will she need to prepare a bouquet of
roses?
• How many daisies does she need to prepare a
bouquet of daisies?
 Problem A: Solution 1

Finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) by

listing the factors of 36 and 24.
The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18,
and 36.
The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24
Common Factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, , and 12
Greatest Common Factor: 12
Solution 2: Finding the Greatest Common Factor
(GCF) of 36 and 24 by prime factorization.
36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
Common Prime Factors: 2 × 2 × 3
GCF: 12

Solution 3: Finding the GCF of 24 and 3 by

continuous
2 24 division.

 Problem B: Solution 1

Finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) by

listing some multiples of 5 and 6.
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40,
45, 50, 55, 60, …
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48,
54, 60, …
Common Multiples of 5 and 6: 30, 60, …
Least Common Multiples (LCM): 30
Solution 2: Finding the Least Common Multiple
(LCM) of 5 and 6 by prime factorization.
5=1×5
6=2×3
LCM = 1 × 2 × 5 × 3 = 30

Solution 3: Finding the Least Common Multiple

(LCM) of 5 and 6 by continuous division.

 For Problem A

• We used the 4-step plan in solving problem

in solving GCF and LCM of two numbers.
Understand, Plan, Solve, and Check and
Look Back.
• We solved for the answer by listing method,
prime factorization, and continuous division.
 Cherry baked 48 pieces of butler cookies and 60
chocolate cookies. If she will put them
separately in boxes, what is the most number
of cookies the boxes will contain if theses are
of the same number?
How will you solve for the answer to the
problem?

You can use the 4-step plan in

solving for the answer.
Understand:
What does the problem The greatest number of cookies that
ask for? a box will contain.
48 butter cookies, 60 chocolate
What facts are given?
cookies
Plan:

By listing the factors

48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48
60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30,
and 60.
How will you solve the
GCF: 12
problem?
By Prime Factorization
48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
GCF: 2 × 2 × 3 = 12
