GCF/LCM/Distributive Property

Front

What does GCF stand for?

Back

GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor, which is the largest number that divides two or more numbers without leaving a remainder.

Front

What does LCM stand for?

Back

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple, which is the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by two or more numbers.

Front

Back

The GCF of 12 and 16 is 4.

Front

Calculate the LCM of 3 and 7.

Back

The LCM of 3 and 7 is 21.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, meaning you can distribute a number across a sum.

Front

Use the Distributive Property: 5(2 + 3).

Back

5(2 + 3) = 5*2 + 5*3 = 10 + 15 = 25.

Front

List the first 5 multiples of 4.

Back

The first 5 multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.

Front

What is the GCF of 15 and 25?

Back

The GCF of 15 and 25 is 5.

Front

What is the LCM of 4 and 6?

Back

The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.

Front

Use the Distributive Property: 7(1 + 2 + 3).

Back

7(1 + 2 + 3) = 7*1 + 7*2 + 7*3 = 7 + 14 + 21 = 42.
