and say, “Give the next three numbers in
the sequence.”
“Give the next three numbers “

How to use the listing method to get the LCM
of the given number?.

•List some multiplies of two given numbers.

•Write the common multiplies.
•The smallest common multiple is the LCM
What are the objects that can be
recycled?
What do you do in the used
objects like plastic bottles, used
papers, glass bottles etc..
What are the good effects of
recycling in our environment?
Present this problem to the class.
-Richard and Francis collected
used plastic bottles for
recycling. They arranged the
bottles in boxes of 8 and 12.
What is the least number of
bottles they gathered in all?
1.What did Richard and Francis collected?
2.What does the problem ask for?
3. How will you solve for the answer to the
problem?
4. Can you think of ways to solve it?
There are two ways of
getting the LCM the:
-Listing Method
-Continuous Division
Listing Method

-list the multiples of the given

number
- mark the least common multiple
of the given number
Continuous Division
1.Write the number horizontally.
2. Find a prime number that will divide the numbers, if
possible.
3. Divide the given numbers by that prime number  and write
the quotients below.
4. Continue the process until no two numbers have a common
prime divisor.

Next is Find the LCM by multiplying the all the common

prime divisor by all the quotient.
•What is the LCM of 8 and 4?
•Which method you think is
easier method?
•How did you get the LCM of 8
and 4 using the Continuous
Division Method?
•By getting the product of
all the prime divisor and
the last set of quotients
we get the Least Common
Multiples (LCM).
•Find the LCM using each
way.
•1. 16 and 24
•2. 6 and 36
•3. 2, 5 and 10
Group Activity
 These are the Group Work Rules that you
need to remember during the activity.
1.Work as a team
2.Listen to others
3.Be kind and helpful
4.Be safe
5.Adjust your voice level to suit the activity.
Find the least common multiples of the
following pairs of numbers using
continuous division.
Group 1. 25 and 50
Group 27 and 14
Group 3 4, 6, and 8
Group 4 6 , 9 and 18
Group 53, 8 and 15
•What is Least Common Multiple
(LCM) of two given number?
•How do we find the Least
Common Multiple (LCM) of two
given numbers using
continuous division?
Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest non-zero number
that is a multiple of all the numbers in the set.
Continuous division in finding the LCM is done following the
steps below:
·Write the number horizontally and find a prime number that will
divide the numbers, if possible.
·Divide by that prime number and write the quotients below the
dividends. Copy any numbers not divided below the dividend.
·Continue the process until no two numbers have a common
prime divisor.
·Multiply all the prime divisors and the last set of quotients to
get the LCM.
Assessment
