Exploring LCM and GCF Concepts

The video tutorial for sixth graders covers the concepts of multiples and factors, using the number 16 as an example. It explains how multiples are numbers obtained by multiplying a number by integers, and factors are numbers that multiply together to form a product. The lesson also introduces the concepts of least common multiple (LCM) and greatest common factor (GCF), providing step-by-step examples to find them. Students are encouraged to practice finding multiples and factors on their own.
