GCF vs. LCM How can you tell if a word problem requires you to use Greatest Common Factor or Least Common Multiple to solve?

GCF and LCM Problem Solving 1st: Use the first two steps of the four-step problem-solving method: Understand the Problem: What is given? What are you being asked to figure out? Make a plan

GCF Problems may be asking you: to split things into smaller sections to equally distribute 2 or more sets of items into their largest grouping to figure out how many people we can invite to arrange something into rows or groups?

GCF Example Ida has two pieces of cloth. One piece is 72 inches wide and the other piece is 90 inches wide. She wants to cut both pieces into strips of equal width that are as wide as possible. How wide should she cut the strips?

Given: The pieces of cloth are 72 and 90 inches wide Required: How wide should she cut the strips so that they are the largest possible equal widths.

Make a Plan: This problem can be solved using Greatest Common Factor because we are cutting or “dividing” the strips of cloth into smaller pieces (Factor) of 72 and 90 (Common) and we are looking for the widest possible strips (Greatest). I will find the GCF of 72 and 90

GCF Word Problem Solution GCF by dividing method: GCF = 18 Ida should cut each piece to be 18 inches wide 72 90 ÷ 1 = 72 72 ÷ 2 = 36 72 ÷ 3 = 24 72 ÷ 4 = 18 72 ÷ 6 = 12 72 ÷ 8 = 9 90 ÷ 1 = 90 90 ÷ 2 = 45 90 ÷ 3 = 30 90 ÷ 5 = 18 90 ÷ 6 = 15 90 ÷ 9 = 10

LCM Problems may be asking you: about an event that is or will be repeating over and over to purchase or get multiple items in order to have enough to figure out when something will happen again at the same time

LCM Example Marcus exercises every 12 days and Ameena every 8 days. Marcus and Ameena both exercised today. How many days will it be until they exercise together again?

Given: Marcus exercises every 12 days and Ameena every 8 days and they both exercised today Required: How many days is it until they will both exercise on the same day again

Make a Plan: This problem can be solved using Least Common Multiple because we are trying to figure out when the soonest (Least) time will be that as the event of exercising continues (Multiple), it will occur at the same time (Common). I will find the LCM of 8 and 12.

LCM Word Problem Solution LCM using “List Method”: 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 12: 12, 24, LCM = 24 They will exercise together again in 24 days.
