There are 36 pupils, 24 teachers and 42 parents playing in a sports fest. What is the
greatest number of player per team if a team must have pupils, teachers and parents as
members. Each team must have equal number of pupils, teachers and parents.
To check if the answer is correct, let us use LISTING METHOD as another way of finding
GCF of the given numbers.
36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36

INSERT PICTURES OF AN AGRICULTURIST AND SEEDLINGS.
(Drawing Number 2)
Situation: Mr. Santos, the city agriculturist, wants to know the number of seedling she
can give to 2 groups of boys in EPP class.
Mr. Santos: How many members do you have in your group?
Leader I: I have 12 members.
Leader II: I have 18 members
Teacher: I will give the same number of seedlings to each group. You
should give the same number of seedlings to each child in the group. So
the number of seedlings I would give to each group must be divisible by 12 and 18.
Let us find the LCM of 12 and 18 using Continuous Division.
Step 1: Write the numbers horizontally and find a prime number that will divide the numbers,
if possible.
12 18
Step 2: Divide by that prime number and write the quotients below the dividends.
3 12 18
4 6
3 12 18
2 4 6
2 3
STEP 4: Multiply all the prime divisors and the last set of quotients to get the LCM
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36
Therefore, 36 seedlings will be given for each group.
To check if your answer is correct, list all the multiple of the given numbers
12 – 24, 36, 48, 60 72, . . . .
18 – 36, 54, 72 . . . . .
Therefore, 36 is the least common multiple of 12 and 18.

Factors that two or more numbers have in common are called the common factors of those
numbers. Common Factors are numbers that a set of two or more different numbers can be
divided exactly.
Example 2: 12 and 30
12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
30 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6, 15 and 30
We can say that if the given numbers are divisible by 10 it is also divisible by 2 and 5.
Example 4: 45 and 54
We can say that if the given numbers are divisible by 9 it is also divisible by 3
We can say that if the given numbers are divisible by 12 it is also divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.

Reciprocal is a number that when multiplied by a given number gives one as a product.
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just swap over the numerator and the denominator
Examples:

To find the reciprocal of a mixed form, we must change it to an improper fraction, then swap
over the numerator and the denominator.
Example:
1 7
Convert it to an improper fraction: 2
it becomes
3 3
7 3
Swap the numerator and the denominator: =
3 7
1 3
Therefore, the reciprocal of 2 is

Reciprocal Game:
Players will flip pairs of cards. They will try to match the fraction’s reciprocal on it.
Player 1 flips two cards. If the card match, he or she gets to keep both cards. If the cards do not match,
then the cards are flipped back upside-down.
Player 2 gets a turn to try flip matching cards. Players alternate until all cards have been removed
from the game.
When the game is over, the player with the most number of cards wins the game.
