The factor tree finds the prime factorization. The prime factorization finds the LCM. Example: 30 and 42 Factor them. 30 15,2 5,3,2 42 21,2 7,3,2 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 Select the highest amount of each factor. 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM
1 is a factor of 30
Factor tree of 40: 40 20,2 10,2,2 5,2,2,2
yesYes, 3 is a factor of 30.
Here is a factor tree of eight: 8 / \ 4 2 / \ 2 2
Because 45 is not a factor of 60.
30 15,2 5,3,2
30 15,2 5,3,2
30 15,2 5,3,2
The last branch of any factor tree of 30 will always be 2, 3 and 5 in some order.
30 15,2 5,3,2
Use a factor tree. 30 15,2 5,3,2
30 3 10 2 5 3, 2 and 5
30 / \ 2 15 / \ 3 5 / \ 5 1
Jenna lists all the multiple of 9
30 / 2 = 15 15 / 3 = 5
The square root of 900 is 30 and it is a factor of 900
