  1. Least Common Multiples And Greatest Common Factor

  2. Lesson 3.4.5 Least Common Multiples What it means for you: You’ll learn how to find the lowest number that two numbers both divide into exactly. You’ll also see how this can help you with adding and subtracting fractions. California Standards: Number Sense 2.1 Solve problems involving addition, subtraction,multiplication, and division of positive fractions and explain why a particular operation was used for a given situation. Number Sense 2.4 Determine the least common multiple and the greatest common divisor of whole numbers; use them to solve problems with fractions (e.g., to find a common denominator to add two fractions or to find the reduced form for a fraction). • Key words: • least common multiple • greatest common factor

  3. Lesson 3.4.5 Least Common Multiples Today we are going to learn about Lowest Common Multiples and Greatest Common Factor. First let’s examine the parts of a multiplication equation. The Least Common ulte Is Less Than the Others MULTIPLE

  4. Lesson 3.4.5 Least Common Multiples Definition Least Common Multiple (LCM): The lowest multiple of two or more numbers. Example: What is the LCM of 10 and 30? 10 x 1 = 10 10 x 2 = 20 10 x 3 = 30 10 x 4 = 40 10 x 5 = 50 10 x 6 = 60 30 x 1 = 30 30 x 2 = 60 30 x 3 = 90 So the least common multiple of 10 and 30 is 30.

  5. 2 1 30 10 Lesson 3.4.5 Least Common Multiples When do you use LCM? The Least Common ulte Is Less Than the Others + When you need to add fractions with different denominators!

  6. Lesson 3.4.5 Least Common Multiples Definition Greatest Common Factor (GCF): The largest factor shared by two or more numbers. 1 x 30 2 x 15 3 x 10 5 x 6 Example: What is the GCF of 20 and 30? 1 x 20 2 x 10 4 x 5 The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20 The factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 30

  7. 20 30 Lesson 3.4.5 Least Common Multiples When do you use GCF? The Least Common ulte Is Less Than the Others When you need to SIMPLIFY fractions!

  8. Lesson 3.4.5 Least Common Multiples You can find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) and the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) with a factor tree. Let’s try some! The LeastThan the Others

  22. Lesson 3.4.5 Least Common Multiples Round Up Pausing for a second to find the least common multiple before trying to add or subtract two fractions with different denominators is a good way to avoid having to deal with really big numbers. Smaller numbers also make simplifying at the end easier.
