What are...
Prime Numbers?have “exactly two factors”
1 and itself
Composite Numbers?have more than two factors
Multiples
are BIG!Factors
are small
Let’s practice what we know!
Get Ready!
Is this number prime or composite? Show all work and
carefully find all the factors!

Test for success!Think smarter not harder!
Which of following are all prime numbers?a. 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, b. 1, 4, 5, 7, 11,
13, c. 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19
Example
TipEliminate composite numbers first.
XX
Then double check remaining numbers to make sure they are all prime.
XX
Is this number a factor or a
multiple of 9? Prove it!
27Multiple
Is this number a factor or a
multiple of 36? Prove it!
12Factor

Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
The greatest factor two numbers share.
1. List the factors for each number.2. Circle common factors.
3. Choose the greatest factor.
30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 3015: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15 GCF = 15
Least Common Multiple
Least multiple that more than one number share.
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 103: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
LCM: 6
1. List the first 5 multiples of each number.2. Choose the smallest multiple they both share.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Example Which of following are the factors of 24?
c. 2, 3, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48
b. 1, 4, 6, 5, 8, 12, 24,
a. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Closure
Turn to your shoulder partner and tell them
the difference between a factor and multiple.
Now tell them the difference between prime and composite number.
