PERFORMING
ACTIVITIES
Group the pupilsTHE
into four
working
teams and have them perform the task..
PROBLEM A.
Find the GCF of 28 and 14 using the Listing
Method, Prime Factorization and Continuous
Division.
PROBLEM B.
Find the LCM of 24 and 36 using the Listing
Method, Prime Factorization and Continuous
Division.

Solution to the problem A

1. By Listing Method: (Factors of 28 and 14)

28 1

7 14 28

14 1

7 14

So, GCF is 14

What are the common factors?

Which is the greatest from the listed common factors?
2. Prime Factorization:
Find the prime factors of 28 and 14.
To get the GCF, multiply only the numbers with pair
prime factors.

3. By Continuous Division:

1. Write the given numbers horizontally.

28
14 number/s can divide 28 and 14.
2. Think prime
28

3. Divide the14
numbers, 28 and 14 by the given prime

number, 2. Write the quotient below the dividends. Then,

continue the process.

Therefore, GCF =2x7=

14

To get the GCF of 28 and 14, multiply only the

prime divisors.

Solution to the problem B

1. By Listing Method: (Multiples of 28 and
14)
24 48 72 96 120 144 168 192
Multiples of 24
Multiples of 36

36
Least Common
Multiple
2. Prime Factorization:
Find the prime factors of 24 and 36.
List all the prime factors of both 24 and 36. Hence, pair
of common factors, is counted as one.
To get the LCM, multiply all the listed prime factors.

3. By Continuous Division:

1. Write the given numbers horizontally.

24
36number or divisors can divide 24 and
2. Think any
36.

3. Divide the36
numbers, 24 and 36 by the given divisor, 6.
Write the quotient below the dividends. Then, continue
the process.

Therefore, LCM
=6x2X2X3=72

To get the LCM of 24 and 36, multiply the divisors

and the last set of quotients or remaining

Back.
We solved the problem by three ways, by
continuous division, prime factorization and
by continuous division.

REINFORCING THE CONCEPT

AND SKILLS

A. Study and solve the following

1.problems.
There are 48 cups of mango juice and 72 cups
of orange juice to be arranged in equal rows.
Each row should have only one kind of juice.
What is the greatest number of cups that can be
in one row?
2. Justine a security guard has 3 successive night
duties a week. His wife who is a nurse has 2
successive night duties. When will they see
again if they are together now?

SUMMARIZING THE
LESSON

How do we solve problem solving

GCF and LCM of two to three given
numbers?
We use the 4 - step plan in solving problem
involving GCF and LCM of two to three given
numbers; Understand, Plan, Solve and Check
and Look Back.
We solved the problem by three ways, by
continuous division, prime factorization and
by continuous division.

APPLYING TO NEW AND OTHER

SITUATION
Have the pupils answer the exercises under
Apply Your Skills on page 99 of LM Math Grade
5
Encourage some pupils to show and discuss
their answers.

ASSESSMENT:
Read and solve each problem.
1. Mrs. Dela Cuevas class is composed of 20 boys
and 30 girls. If she is going to make groups of
boys and groups of girls for the activities, what is
the biggest number of children in the group if
they are of the same number?
2. Brenda always drinks milk with 150 calories,
while Andrea always drinks another brand of milk
with 100 calories. What is the least number of
glasses they could drink every day to make sure
that they get the same amount of calories from
milk daily?

HOME ACTIVITY:

Read and solve each problem. Write your answer in your

notebook.

1. Sharon has 15 oranges, 9 peaches and 18

pears. She wants to put all of the fruits into
baskets with each basket having the same
number of pieces of fruit in it. Without mixing the
fruit, what is the greatest number of pieces of
fruit Sharon can put in each basket?
2. Cups are sold 5 to a package and plates are
sold 10 to a package. If you want to have the
same number of each item for a party, what is
the least number of packages of each you need to
buy?
