[] Factors ‘You will practice how to: ‘+ Use knowledge of tests of divisibility to find factors of numbers greater than 100. ‘+ Understand lowest common multiple and highest common factor (numbers less than 100). Summary of key points ‘A number is divisible by another number if it can be divided exactly by that number ‘without leaving a remainder. For example, 12 is divisible by 6 because 12 + 6 =2 with no remainder, A divisibitity test isa quick method for checking whether one number is divisible by another number.

For example, 4 and 5 have common multiples of 20, 40, 60, etc. The lowest common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20. The highest common factor (HCF) of two or more whale numbers is the highest factor shared by the numbers. For example, 16 and 24 have common factors 1, 2, 4 and 8. The highest common factor of 16 and 24 is 8.Exercise 2 oe Write the highest common factor of: a) Yand 18 ©) 60 and 80 e) 18, 24 and 30 eo Write the lowest common multiple of: a) 9and 18 9 t4and 35 e) 6,9 and 15 b) 24 and 32 d) 55 and 70 f) 30, 45 and 75 b) 10 and 11 d) 20 and 50 f) 12, 16 and 24 “@© Write two numbers with highest common factor: a4 b) 10‘ ‘© Without writing the number 1, write two numbers with lowest common multiple: a) 14 © 36 b) 20 © olga and Carlos each buy some packets of pens.
