Hands-On Activity

Find The Common Factors And The Greatest Common Factor Of Two Numbers

Materials:

  • number cards (from 10 to 100)
  • factor cards (2s, 3s, 5s, and 7s)

Work in pairs.

Step 1.
Shuffle the number cards and place them face down on a flat surface. Give half the factor cards to each player.

Step 2.
Each player turns over a number card and uses his or her factor cards to show the prime factorization of the number.

Step 3.
The first player states the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two numbers. If the player is correct, the player keeps the two number cards. Players reuse the factor cards on each turn.
Example
Math in Focus Grade 6 Chapter 1 Lesson 1.3 Answer Key Common Factors and Multiples 6
Step 4.
Two new number cards are turned over and the process repeats. This time the second player gets to state the GCF.
Step 5.
Play continues until all number cards have been used. The player with more number cards is the winner.

Use the greatest common factor with the distributive property.

Express 12 + 20 as a product of the greatest common factor of the numbers and another sum.

First find the greatest common factor of the two numbers.
Math in Focus Grade 6 Chapter 1 Lesson 1.3 Answer Key Common Factors and Multiples 7
Greatest common factor of 12 and 20 = 2 • 2
= 4
Then write the sum a different way. You know that
12 = 4 • 3 20 = 4 • 5
So, 12 + 20 = 4 • 3 + 4 • 5
= 4(3 + 5)
The distributive property says that:
4(3 + 5) = 4 • 3 + 4 • 5
Math in Focus Grade 6 Chapter 1 Lesson 1.3 Answer Key Common Factors and Multiples 8

The number lines below show you that 12 + 20 and 4(3 + 5) represent the same number.
Notice that either way, you “end up” at the same place on the number line.
12 + 20 is a jump of 12 plus a jump of 20.

Question 12.
35 + 91
Answer:
7( 5 + 13 )

Explanation:
By prime factorization,
35 = 5 x 7, 91 = 7 x 13
Greatest common factor of 35 and 91 = 7
35 + 91 = 5 . 7 + 13 . 7
= 7(5+ 13)
35 + 91 = 7(5 + 13).

Question 13.
60 + 85
Answer:
5 ( 12 + 17 )

Explanation:
By prime factorization,
60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5, 85 = 5 x 17
Greatest common factor of 60and 85 = 5
60 + 85 = 5 . 12 + 5 . 17
= 5( 12 + 17 )
60 + 85 = 5( 12 + 17 ).

Question 14.
24 + 64
Answer:
8( 3 + 8 )

Explanation:
By prime factorization,
24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, 64 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
Greatest common factor of 2 4and 64 = 2 . 2 . 2 = 8
