SECTION 5: 18 word problems involving GCF1 & LCM
REMEMBER: When solving a word problem on GCF or LCM it is recommended:

 Read the entire statement carefully, to get an idea of the situation. It is recommended to create a
diagram.
 How do I know when to use LCM or GCF? Let us see some tips:
Key words for GCF Key words for LCM

 Grouping  Repetition or cycle
 Split / divide equally  Happen at the same time again
 Share  When both will meet again
 Cutting something into pieces  “” ““ “ “ be equal
 No leftovers  First or next
 (Greatest, largest, maximum ¬ not

 (Smallest, least, minimum ¬ not always!)
always!)
 Solve it, justifying with a sentence why you have applied either LCM or GCF. Write your answer to
the question in sentence form
 Check that the obtained solution verifies the conditions of the statement.
