Factors
A factor is a number that divides evenly into a number.

The Greatest Common Factor
The greatest common factor (GCF) is the whole number that evenly divides into two or more numbers.
Find the GCF of 8 and 12.
1. the factors of
both numbers.
2. Circle the factors.
3. Identify the greatest common factor.
Prime Factorization and GCF
You can also use the prime factorization to find the GCF of two numbers.
Find the GCF of 18 and 30.
1. Write the
factorization of each number.
2. Circle the common prime factors.
3. Find the of
the common prime factors.
2 × = 6
Prime factorization of 18: 2 × 3 × 3
Prime factorization of 30: 2 × 3 × 5
The GCF of 18 and 30 is .

Relatively Prime Numbers
Find the GCF of 10 and 21.
Circle the common factors.
Factors of 10: 1, 2, , 10
Factors of 21: 1, 3, 7, 21
The only factor common to both of these numbers is the factor 1.
The GCF of 10 and 21 is .
Two numbers are relatively prime if the of the numbers is 1.
Multiples
A multiple is the of a number and any nonzero whole number.
Multiples of 4: 4, , 12, , 20…
10 is not a multiple of 4 because there is no whole number that can be multiplied by 4 to get the product 10.

The Least Common Multiple
The least common multiple (LCM) is the whole number that two or
more whole numbers will evenly divide into.
Find the LCM of 4 and 6.
1. List multiples of each number.
2. Circle common multiples.
3. Identify the least common multiple.
Circle the common multiples.
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24,
The LCM of 4 and 6 is .
Using GCF to Solve Word Problems
A florist has 24 red roses and 36 white roses. She plans to use all the flowers and make arrangements that look the same. Each vase will have the same number of each color of rose. How many vases will she need?
Find the GCF of 24 and 36 using the prime factorization method.
Circle the common prime factors.
Prime factorization of 24: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
Prime factorization of 36: 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
Product of the common prime factors: 2 × × 3 = 12
is the GCF for the numbers 24 and 36.
The florist will need 12 in order to get identical flower arrangements in each vase.

A florist has 24 red roses and 36 white roses. She plans to use all the flowers and make arrangements that look the same. Each vase will have the same number of each color of rose. How many roses of each color will be in each vase?
We previously found that the GCF of 24 and 36 is 12, and the florist is using 12 vases.
Use division to separate each group of roses into 12 vases.
red white
24 ÷ 12 = 36 ÷ = 3
There will be red and white roses in each vase.
Using LCM to Solve Problems
The flower shop has a special promotion this month. Every 3rd customer gets a free rose, and every 8th customer gets $5 off a flower arrangement. Which customer will be the 1st to receive a free rose and $5 off a purchase?
Use the .
1. List the first five multiples of each number.
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, , 12, 15
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, , 32, 40
2. Find the least common multiple.
Since we did not find a common multiple, we continue adding multiples of 3.
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, , 24
is the LCM of the values 3 and 8.
The 24th customer will be the first customer to receive both offers.

? Lesson Question
How can you use the greatest common factor and the least common multiple to solve problems?
Answer
Review: Key Concepts
• The greatest common factor (GCF) is the whole number that evenly divides into two or more numbers.
• Factors of 8: 1, 2, , 8
• Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The GCF of 8 and 12 is .
• Two numbers are relatively if their GCF is 1.
• The least common multiple (LCM) is the whole number that two or more whole numbers can divide into.
• Multiples of 4: 4, , 12, 16, 20, . . .
• Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, . . .
The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
