    Highest Common Factors

    & Lowest common


    .
    Multiples
    .
    Multiples
     What is a multiple?
    A number that may be divided by another number with no
    remainder: 4, 6, and 12 are multiples of 2.

    i.e. Multiples of 3 are all those numbers which appear in the


    3 times table

    What are common multiples?


    A common multiple of two or more numbers contains each
    of them a number of times exactly, so, 24 is a common
    multiple of 3 and 4.

    i.e. A number which appears in the times tables of all the


    numbers you are considering
    Lowest Common Multiples
     Whatdo we mean by ‘lowest
    common multiple’?
    The smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by every
    member of a set of numbers.
    i.e. the lowest common multiple of 12 and 18 is 36

    How can we find lowest common


    multiples?
    Write out the first few multiples of all the numbers in the data
    set
    Look for the lowest number that appears in all the lists
    Finding Lowest common multiples
     Example:

    Find the lowest common multiple of 3


    and 7.
    First few multiples of 3:
    3 6 9 12 15 18 21

    First few multiples of 7:

    7 14 21

    The lowest common multiple of 3 and 7 is:


    21
    LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLES

    Find the lowest common multiples for the


    following sets of numbers:

    5 and 7 6 and 10 4, 6, and 12

    LCM = 35 LCM = 30 LCM = 24


    Factors
     What is a factor?
    Factors of a number are those numbers that
    divide into it exactly with no remainder.

    I.e. the factors of 12 are 1, 12, 2, 6, 3 and 4.

    *What are common factors?


    Common factors are those factors which
    divide exactly into all the numbers in the set.
    Highest Common Factors
     Whatdo we mean by highest
    common factor?
    The highest common factor of a data set is the
    largest number that divides exactly into all the
    numbers.

    *How can we find highest common


    factors?
    List the first few factors of each number
    Look for the highest number that appears
    in all lists.
    Finding Highest Common
    Factors
     Example

    Find the highest common factor of 12 and 15.

    The factors of 12 are:


    1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12
    The factors of 15 are:
    1, 3, 5, 15

    So the highest common factor of 12 and 15 is


    3
    Highest common factors
     Find the highest common factors of
    the following sets of numbers.

    20 and 30 14 and 12

    HCF = 10 HCF = 2

    24, 36, and 42 40, 45 and 50


    HCF = 6 HCF = 5
    Prime Factors
     Sometimes we want to find just the
    prime factors of two numbers.

    What is a prime number?

    A prime number only has 2 factors and those 2


    factors must be 1 and the number itself.
    The first 5 prime numbers are:
    2, 3, 5, 7, and 11
