Grade 4 Math: GCF & LCM Problems

The document contains examples and explanations of math problems involving greatest common factors (GCF) and least common multiples (LCM). Some key points: - Problems 1-3 find the GCF of different numbers to determine the possible number that items can be divided evenly. - Problems 1-5 in Learning Task 2 use LCM to determine when events occurring on different intervals (like lighthouse flashes) will align again. - Later problems use GCF and LCM to determine the smallest number of items needed so they can be divided evenly among different sized groups.

GCF = 4
ANSWER The GCF of 40, 48, and 36 is 4, so, the possible
number of each fruit that will be placed in the
plastic bag is 4.
Learning Task 2
1.
GIVEN Lighthouse 1 - flashes lights every 15 minutes.
Lighthouse 2 - flashes lights every 18 minutes.
1:00 AM
ASKED What time will lighthouse 1 and 2 will next flash
together?
PROCESS LCM - Listing Method
Addition
EQUATION 15 LCM = N
18 LCM = N
1:00 AM + LCM = N
SOLUTION 15 - 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90
18 - 18, 36, 54, 72, 90
LCM = 90
1:00 + 00:90 = 02:30 AM
ANSWER The LCM of 15 and 18 is 90, so, the two
lighthouses will next flash together in 90 minutes
at 2:30 AM.

2.
GIVEN 108 m and 144 m
ASKED What is the total number of trees planted?
PROCESS LCM - Listing Method
EQUATION 108 LCM = N
144 LCM = N
SOLUTION 108 - 108, 216, 324, 432, 540, 648, 756, 864
144 - 144, 288, 432, 576, 720, 864
LCM = 864
ANSWER The LCM of 108 and 144 is 864, so, the total
number of trees planted is 864 trees.
3.
GIVEN 2 days, 4 days, and 6 days.
