Mrs. Gina dela Paz is dividing you up into groups for a Science Activity.
There are 16 girls and 12 boys in your class. If she wants to make the most
possible number of equal groups with no remainders, how many groups
can she form?
SITUATION B
SITUATION C
Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Common Factors: 1, 2, 4
GCF: 4
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
12 = 2 x 2 x 3
GCF = 2 x 2
= 4
Answer: GCF is 4
4. Continuous Division
We divide the numbers on the right by a common factor. We do this continuously until the common factor
becomes 1. The common factor on the left side, when multiplied, becomes the GCF of the given numbers.
2 16 12
2 8 6
4 3
GCF = 2 x 2
GCF = 4
1. 12 and 16
2. 28 and 36
3. 15 and 45
4. 8 and 12
5. 18 and 24
Integration: Science
What figure was formed? (star)
When do we see stars?
Group 2: Decode Me
Decode the word that can be formed by finding the GCF. After finding the GCF find the letter that corresponds to
it in the box then decode the word.
Integration: Science
What word was formed? (EARTH)
Tell something about Earth.
Group 3: Give me a Word
Find the GCF. Then shade the spaces which contain the answers on the puzzle. What letter does it show?
