Understanding FPB Calculation

The video tutorial explains how to solve FPV using tables, focusing on the use of prime numbers. It begins with an introduction to the concept and then delves into understanding prime numbers and their properties. The tutorial demonstrates how to use these numbers to solve FPV problems, specifically finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 12 and 8. The process involves selecting the smallest prime numbers that can divide the given numbers and using them systematically to achieve a neat and organized solution.

What is the first step in calculating FPB using a table?

• Write down the largest number

• Select the numbers to be divided

• Draw a circle around the numbers

• Choose any random number

Which of the following is a prime number?

• 4

• 7

• 6

• 9

What is the smallest prime number used to divide 12 and 8?

• 2

• 5

• 3

• 7

What is the purpose of using the smallest prime number first?

• To use fewer numbers

• To make the process faster

• To ensure neatness

• To avoid mistakes

Why do we circle a number during the division process?

• To highlight the largest number

• To indicate it can divide both numbers

• To mark it as a prime number

• To show it cannot divide any number

What do you do if a number cannot divide both numbers in the table?

• Lower it to the next row

• Use it for the next step

• Circle it anyway

• Skip the number

What is the next step after dividing 6 and 4 by 2?

• Divide by 3

• Circle the number 2

• Stop the process

• Multiply the results

What should you do if a number can only divide one of the numbers?

• Lower it to the next row

• Use it for the next step

• Ignore it

• Circle it

What is the final result of the FPB of 12 and 8?

• 4

• 8

• 2

• 6

What indicates that the FPB calculation is almost complete?

• No more prime numbers are left

• The table is full

• The numbers reach 1

• All numbers are circled
