It usually involves some kind of dividing. Take a basic problem like n x 5 = 45, where n is the unknown factor. Divide both sides of the equation by 5 so that n stands alone. 45 divided by 5 is 9, so n = 9
divide the known factor into the product if stated x times 8 = 72 x = 72 divided by 8 x = 9

Often when working a problem with a scale factor, you are given two similar shapes, and a missing side. For example, you could be given a rectangle with sides A: 3 units and side B: 9 units. Then, you are given another similar rectangle, with side A: 6 units and side B: unknown. To solve this problem, you can simply create a proportion, known in this case as a scale factor. Similar to using a map to predict travel times on a road trip, you can simply create a proportion, in this case, 6:3, which simplifies to 2:1. In this case, the scale factor is 2, so the length of a similar side in the 1st shape is multiplied by 2 to get the length of the same side in the other (2nd) shape. Knowing this side is 9 in the first, and the scale factor is two, we know that the similar side in the 2nd shape is going to be 9 x 2 = 18 units long.
OK. Where were you the last time you saw it ?
Factors come in pairs. If you know one factor, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.
divide the known factor into the product if stated x times 8 = 72 x = 72 divided by 8 x = 9
The answer depends on the exact nature of the puzzle.
Since 8 is a factor of 32, it is automatically the GCF of this problem.
Since 54 is a factor of 108, it is automatically the GCF of this problem.
Since 8 is a factor of 80, it is automatically the GCF of this problem.
This is unknown and casnnot be preoven unless we find the plane itself.
When one term is a factor of the other, it is automatically the GCF. The answer is 14t6u2
Divide the product by the factor you have. 6 x ? = 42 42 ÷ 6 = 7
Since 4 is a factor of 600, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
By noticing that 22 is a factor of 44 and therefore automatically the GCF of this problem.
This is unknown
Find the GCF when you want to simplify a fraction. Find an LCM when you want to add and subtract fractions.
