Dear Heavenly Father

Thank You for the hundredfold blessings
Help us to multiply love and respect
Divide our God-given talents
Add happiness and ideas to others
And subtract wrongdoings and grudges

 Prime number is a whole number greater than 1 with
only two factors, 1 and itself.

Composite number is a whole number greater than 1 with

more than two factors.

Factors are numbers you multiply together to get another

number, also divisors
The prime factorization of a number is the product of
prime factors that makes up that number.
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two or
more numbers is the largest factor or divisor
among the common factors of the numbers.

Continuous Division – also known as Ladder Method

- is a process of solving for the GCF of a set of numbers.
It is done by repetitive division (with common factors as
divisor) and multiplying all common divisors to get the GCF.

A computer shop buys USB flash drives of different colors. They
made an order of 60 blue flash drives, 90 red ones, and 120 yellow
ones. They requested that the flash drives be sent in equal boxes,
without mixing any colors, and with each box containing the greatest
number of flash drives possible. If the order is sent in the way the
shop requested, how many flash drives will there be in each box?
How many boxes of each color will there be?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of a set of
numbers is the smallest non – zero that is a
multiple of all numbers in a set.

We can get the multiples of a number using skip

counting.

 Common Multiple
The multiple of a number is a product obtained when multiplying
a number by a whole number.
Find the LCM of 8 and 12
Multiples 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 54, 60
Multiples 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72
What numbers are found in both sets? 24 48 60
What is the smallest among these numbers? 24
Therefore the LCM of 8 and 12 is 24.
