Exploring GCF and LCM Concepts

What should you do if you don't have scissors to make tabs?

• Use a knife instead

• Wait until you can get some scissors

• Use glue to stick the pages together

• Skip making the tabs

Where should you glue the fraction tab in your notebook?

• In the middle of the page

• On the back cover

• At the bottom of the page

• At the top of the blue line

What is the first step in finding the GCF using the list method?

• Find the prime factors

• Divide the numbers by 2

• Add the numbers together

• List all factors of each number

Why is it important to list all factors when using the list method?

• To avoid using a calculator

• To make the process faster

• To check for prime numbers

• To ensure you find the greatest common factor
