Math 10 Week #2

This week I learned how to do a division table to find the prime numbers/ factors of a certain number. This table is a good way to also find the Lowest common multiple, and the greatest common factor of two different numbers. You start the table with the number you are using and put it in a box. beside the box you find the lowest prime number you can divide your number with, and write it on the left of the box. Next you divide the number with the prime number and write the quotient under the starting number in another box. you continue finding the lowest prime number divisible until you end up with your final prime number. using the prime numbers you have on the left side, you can easily find the LCM and GCF.
