This week I learned that you can turn numbers with fractional exponents into a radical. The numerator of the fraction would be the power of the radical and the denominator would be the index of the radical.
In this example, the “2” would become the power of the radical, and the “3” would become the index of the radical like this:
Finding GCF(ladder method):
1. Take your numbers(108 & 144) and line them up with an upside down division symbol
2. Find a number that both your numbers are divisible by(4), then divide both your numbers by the common factor.
3. Continue dividing your resulting numbers by common factors until all your numbers only have a common factor of 1.
4. Multiply the numbers on the left to get your GCF: GCF = 4 x 9 = 36
5. Now you got your GCF!
Finding LCM(ladder method):
1. Take your numbers(108 & 144) and line them up with an upside down division symbol
2. Find a number that both your numbers are divisible by(4), then divide both your numbers by the common factor.
3. Continue dividing your resulting numbers by common factors until all your numbers only have a common factor of 1.
4. Multiply all your outer numbers together to get your GCF: GCF = 4 x 9 x 3 x 4 = 432
5. Now you got your LCM!
Conclusion: I like the method I found better because you don’t need to do prime factorization. I also like it better because you don’t need to put your face against the paper looking for repeated prime factors. The method I found is also less writing because it doesn’t use prime factorization and just factorization.
Despite Kurumba being a small quiet restaurant in Coquitlam, it still offers tons of great food and brings back warm memories, making it a great place to eat. Even though it’s not that crowded, the food will satisfy the needs of your taste buds. It serves appetizing Southeast Asian food that is nearly as good as the actual thing. Being born in Singapore, the food served at Kurumba brings back a nostalgic feeling of my hometown. The moment you walk into the establishment, you can feel the Southeast Asian ambience with the tan coloured walls, wooden chairs, and oriental-style decorations. The service may be slow during peak hours, but the food is worth the wait. My favourite dish to order is the roti canai and curry chicken. The roti is a crispy, flaky, flatbread-like dish that packs a load of buttery flavour for just a plain-looking bread. The curry chicken is a tender chicken marinated in a pot of curry sauce, giving your palate a spicy after-taste. The moment the dishes are placed on your table you can smell the spice-filled curry and freshly-made roti rise with the heat into your nostrils. Throughout eating your meal, you can occasionally hear the roaring of the kitchen fans, but oddly enough, it adds to the atmosphere of a hot southeast asian country, bringing you to the place itself. Even though the price may be more on the expensive-side for asian food, the somewhat generous portions and delicious dishes make it worth the cost. Kurumba may small and quiet, but it serves amazing unique food that’s hard to find in a place like Coquitlam.
