PRAYER

Dear God,
May we, through your blessings,
add purity to the world,
subtract evil from our lives,
multiply Your good news,
and divide Your gifts and share them with others.
Amen.
Objectives

GCF(Greatest Common
Factor)

Ms. Judy Ann D. Alaton
 DRILL
Ralph has 20 red marbles, and 30 blue
marbles. He wants to place them in
pouches. What is the greatest pouches
that Ralph can use so that each pouch
can contains the same number of
marbles?20 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 2010 is the Greatest
30 = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, Common
15, 30 Factor
(GCF)
1, 2, 5, 10 are called COMMON
 Prime Factorization Method
We can solve for the GCF of 20
and 30 using prime factorization
method.
20 = 2 x 2 x 5 align identical
30 = 2 x 5 x 3factors.
2 x 5bring down only the common
GCF(20,factors.
30) = 2 x
5 = 10.
 CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Step 1:
METHOD
Write the number horizontally
Example:
We can solve for the GCF of 20 and 30 using Continuous
division method.
20, 30
 CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Step 2:
METHOD
Find a prime number that will divide the
numbers, if possible.
Example:
We can solve for the GCF of 20 and 30 using Continuous
division method.
5
20, 30
CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Step 3:
METHOD
Divide the given numbers by that prime
number and write the quotients below.
Example:
We can solve for the GCF of 20 and 30 using Continuous
division method.
5 20,4,306
 CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Step 4:
METHOD
Continue the process until no two numbers
have a common prime divisor
Example:
We can solve for the GCF of 20 and 30 using Continuous
division method.
5 20,
2 4, 630
2, 3
 CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Step 5:
METHOD
Multiply all the prime divisors common to the
given numbers to get the GCF.
Example:
We can solve for the GCF of 20 and 30 using Continuous
division method. DIVISORS are 5 and 2 = 5 x 2
5 20,
2 4, 6 30 = 10
2, 3 GCF = 10
 CONTINUOUS DIVISION
METHOD
Example:
We can solve for the GCF of 25 and 35 using Continuous
division method. DIVISORS is 5
5 25,5,35
7 GCF = 5

LCM(Least Common
Multiple)
Prepared by:
Ms. Judy Ann D. Alaton
 Charles has a pouch of red marbles while
Louis has a pouch of blue marbles.
Red marbles are packed in 15s while blue
marbles are packed in 20s.
How many pouches more do each of them need to
make the number of their marbles the same if Charles
can only have red marbles and Louis, the blue
marbles? 15 = 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120
20 = 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160
Prime Factorization Method
We can solve for the LCM of 15
and 20 using prime factorization
method.
15 = 3 x 5
20 = 5 x 2 x 2common factors must be
3 x 5 x 2 x 2aligned.
bring factors by column.
LCM(15, 20) = 60
 CONTINUOUS DIVISION
METHOD
Example:
We can solve for the LCM of 15 and 20 using continuous
division method. LCM of 15 and 20 = 2 x 2 x 3 x
5 15,
2 3, 420 5
3, 2 = 60
LCM = 60
 CONTINUOUS DIVISION
METHOD
Example:
We can solve for the LCM of 10 and 12 using continuous
division method. LCM of 10 and 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 x
2 10,
2 5, 612 5
5, 3 = 60
LCM = 60
 CONTINUOUS DIVISION
METHOD
Example:
We can solve for the LCM of 6, 8 and 12 using
continuous division method.
LCM of 6, 8 and 12 = 2 x 2 x 3
