Today's Learning Target

• Finding the least common factor.

Definitions

• In order to even understand what I'm talking about you must know the vocabulary i"m going to use.
• Multiple- the product of a quantity by an integer;  for example "36 is a multiple of 9.

Lesson

• There are a wide viarety of ways to use a multiple. The one I'm about to tell you uses a list.
• The first step to finding the least common multiple using a list is to orde the multiple of the numbers you want to find the least common number out of.
• Next is to cicrle the numbers that common in all the list that you made.
• The lowest number that is in both list is the least common multiple.

Example

• Lets do 8 and 16. 
• 8: 8,16,24,32,40,48,56,72,                  16:16,32,48,60,72,84,96
• The common factors between those numbers are 16,32,48,and 72.
• the lowest number is 16 so 16 is the least common factor.
