Topic of the DAY:

Finding the Common


Factors and the Greatest
Common Factor (GCF)
Lesson Objective
Find the common factors and the greatest
common factor (GCF) of two numbers using
the following methods: listing, prime
factorization, and continuous division
Arnel helps his father
in harvesting their fruits
in the farm. They harvest
12 pineapples and 18
mangoes. They plan to pack
them separately in small
boxes. What is the biggest number of pineapples and
mangoes that can be placed in boxes if these are of
the same number?
Method 1: By Listing Method
1st: List the factors of 12 and 18
Factors of 12: 1 2 3 4 6 12
Factors of 18: 1 2 3 6 9 18
2nd: Find the common factors of 12 and 18
Common Factors: 1 2 3 6
3rd: Get the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
GCF: 6
Method 2: By writing each number as a product of its prime factors.

Using Factor Tree

12 18

2X6 2X9

2X3 3X3

12 = 2 X 2 X 3 18 = 2 X 3 X 3

Common Prime Factors: 2 X 3 GCF = 6


Method 3: By writing each number as a product of its prime factors.

Using Continuous Division


2 12 18
3 6 9
2 3

GCF = 2 X 3 = 6
Alvin has 48 guavas and
