GCF,LCM, Distributive Property

Front

What is the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)?

Back

The GCF of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides all of them without leaving a remainder.

Front

What is the LCM (Least Common Multiple)?

Back

The LCM of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of all of them.

Front

How do you find the GCF of two numbers?

Back

To find the GCF, list the factors of each number and identify the largest factor they have in common.

Front

How do you find the LCM of two numbers?

Back

To find the LCM, list the multiples of each number and identify the smallest multiple they have in common.

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

Calculate the GCF of 18 and 24.

6

Front

Calculate the LCM of 6 and 10.

Back

30

Front

Evaluate 12(3 + 4).

Back

36 + 48

Front

Use the GCF and Distributive Property to express 54 + 90.

Back

9(6 + 10) or 18(3 + 5)

Front

Rewrite 36 + 45 as the product of their GCF and another sum.

Back

9(4 + 5)
