Objective: Finds the common factors and the greatest common factor (GCF)
of two numbers using listing method.

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY:

• Finding factors and common factors of two numbers.
• Finding greatest common factor or GCF using listing
method.

EXPLORE AND DISCOVER

Mila has two pieces of cloth. One piece is 63 inches wide, and the other
piece is 72 inches. She wants to cut both pieces into strips of equal width that
are as wide as possible. How wide should she cut the strips?

Let’s answer the following questions:

1. How many pieces of cloth do Mila have?
2. What are the measurements of each cloth?
3. What does Mila want to do with the two pieces of cloth?
4. What does the problem asked for?
5. How will you solve for the answer?

To solve the problem, finding GCF or greatest common factor is the

solution. Let us define greatest common factor (GCF).

Greatest Common Factor or GCF is the biggest factor common

to two numbers. Common factors are the factors that are the same

for each number, there could be one common factor or many. One way
to find GCF is using the listing method.

Page 1 of 29
 Steps on How to Find Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
Using Listing Method

Step 1: List ALL the factors of each number.

Factors of 63: 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63

Factors of 72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

Step 2: Identify the common factors. You can do that by encircling each
common factors that are found in both lists.

Factors of 63: 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63

Factors of 72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Step 3: After identifying the common factors, choose the number
which has the largest value. This number will be the Greatest
Common Factor or GCF.

Common Factors: 1, 3, 9
Greatest Common Factor (GCF): 9

Hence, Mila will cut the two pieces of cloth into strips with equal width of 9
inches.

Example #1: Find the Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 18.

Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Common Factors: 1, 2, 3, 6

Greatest Common Factor: 6

Example #2: Find the Greatest Common Factor of 48 and 42.

Factors of 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

Factors of 42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Common Factors: 1, 2, 3, 6

Greatest Common Factor: 6

To find the Greatest Common Factor or GCF using listing

method , the first step is to find all the factors of two given numbers
and write them in a list in the order of least to greatest. Then, identify

the common factors. The common factor which has the largest
value is the greatest common factor or GCF.

MATHEMATICS 4
Quarter 2 / Week 2 / Day 2

OBJECTIVE: Finds the common factors and greatest common factors

(GCF) of two numbers using prime factorization method.

• Common factors are the numbers that can divide the given numbers
withoutremainder.
• The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more numbers is the
biggest number which is a common divisor of the given numbers.

TRY TO DISCOVER

Mr. Ruiz donated 140 pieces of pens and 84

notebooks to a grade 5 class.

What is the biggest number of pupils in the class

that can share the pens and notebooks equally?

To be able to solve for the answer to the problem,

you need to get the factors and the greatest
common factor of 140 and 84prime
using
factorization method
.

By using factor
a tree
, you can get the prime factor of a number.

Factor tree of 140 and 84

From the factor tree, youexpress

can each number as a product of its prime factors.

Prime Factorization of 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7

Prime Factorization of 84 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7

GCF = 2 x 2 x 7 = 28

Getting the common prime factors of 84 and 140 and multiplying them gives you the
GCF. Thus, the GCF of 84 and 140 is 2 x 2 x 7, which is equal to 28.

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY:

Finding the common factors and the greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers
using continuous division method

TRY TO DISCOVER!

Arvie helps his father in their bakeshop. They baked 48 cupcakes and 60
cookies. They plan to pack them separately in small boxes. What is the biggest
number of cupcakes and cookies that can be placed in boxes if these are of the same
number?

How will you solve this problem?

You can find its answer by using continuous division.

Step 1: Place the numbers inside an upside down division bar.

48 60
Step 2: Now, we need to divide both numbers by a common factor. Because
both of the numbers are even, we could start with 2.The answer goes
underneath the bar.

2 48 60
24 30

Step 3: We will continue to divide until we have two numbers that are relatively
prime. Remember that relatively prime means two numbers that do not have any
common factors other than 1. In this example, 4 and 5 are relatively prime.

2 48 60
2 24 30
3 12 15
4 5
Step 4: Now we take all of the factors on the side and multiply them together.

2 X 2 X 3 = 12, so the GCF of 48 and 60 is 12.

OBJECTIVE: Finds the common multiples and least common multiple (LCM) of two
numbers using listing and prime factorization method.

YOUR LESSON FOR TODAY:

To find the common multiples and least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers, we
may use listing and prime factorization method.

TRY TO DISCOVER!
Dr. Cabrera and Dr. Sy are both doctors in Pasay General Hospital. Dr.

Cabrera visits her patients every 4 hours while Dr. Sy visits every 6 hours. They
visited their patients at the same time at 8:00 AM. On what time will they visit their
patients at the same time again?
Try to answer the following questions:

1. Who are the two doctors visiting their patients?

2. When does Dr. Cabrera visit her patients? What about Dr. Sy?
3. What does the problem ask for?

To be able to determine the time they will visit their patients at the same time, we

need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of numbers by using any of the

following solutions:

Solution 1: By Listing Method

4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40
6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60

The common multiples of 4 and 6 are 12, 24,36 …

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6 is 12.
Since the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12, and Dr. Cabrera and Dr. Sy visited their patients at the
same time at 8:00 AM, then they will visit their patients at the same time again at 8:12
AM.

Let’s Explore

One way to solve this problem is to visualize the mathematical problem using
a diagram.

Kuya Manuel scheduled time

7:00 7:15 7:30 7:45 8:00 8:15 8:30 8:45 9:00 9:15
KuyaVictor scheduled time

Let’s analyze the diagram or numberline.

➢ At 7:00 AM, Kuya Manuel and Kuya Victor start disinfecting the rooms.
➢ In the diagram, what time do they have the same working hours?
➢ Therefore, Kuya Manuel and Kuya Victor will both disinfect rooms at 8:30 AM,
and it is 90 minutes past 7:00 AM.

Another way of solving this problem is by finding the LCM of 30 and 45 using
this method.

Continuous Division or Decomposition Method

First, we write the numbers 30, 45 in the horizontal

3 30 , 45 line, separating by commas.
5 10 15 Second,Divide them by a suitable prime number,
which exactly divides the given
2 3 numbers.
Third, Put the Quotient directly under the numbers in the next
row.
Note: We continue the process until the quotient has no
common divisors or factors aside from 1.
Then the last steps. Multiply all divisors or factors to get the
least common
multiple.

The LCM is 90 or 90 mins. They will meet again after 90 minutes, and that is
8:30.

7hrs + 00 min
+ 90 min
7hrs and 90 mins are 8:30 AM
If we continue adding 90mins to 8:30 = the next time they will meet is at 8
hrs and 120mins or at 10: 00 AM.

Let us have another example.

What is the LCM of 24, 36 and 45

2 24, 36 , 45
3 12 , 18 , 45
3 4 , 6 , 15
2 4 , 2 , 5
2 1 5

➢ The prime factors of 24,36 and 45 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5.

The LCM of 24, 36 , 45 is 360.

Before you continue in the exercises, Remember that :

• The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the least number,
other than 0, that is a multiple of each number or divisible by each number.

Aside from the Listing and Prime Factorization Method in obtaining the
LCM of the numbers, there is another method which is the:

➢ Continuous Division Method.

Steps to follow.
Step 1: Write the numbers horizontally, separating by commas.
Step 2: Divide them by a suitable prime number, and write the

quotients below the dividends. Copy any numbers not divided below
the dividend.
Step 3: Continue the process until the quotients are all prime numbers,
consecutive numbers, or the quotients is/are 1.
Step 4: Multiply all the prime divisors and the last set of quotients to get
the LCM.
