LESSON PLAN OF HCF
LESSON PLANNING OF HCF Subject Mathematics Grade 5 th Students` Learning Outcomes Find HCF of three numbers up to 2 digits, using prime factorization method. Information for Teachers Factorization means to express a number as the product of its factors. These factors are either composite numbers or prime numbers. (Except that 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite). Prime factorization means to express a number as the product of its prime factors, such as; 12 = 2 x 2 x 3. Factors shared by two or more numbers are called common factors, such as; img Because ‘2’ is common in factors of both of these numbers so it is called common factor. The product of two or more common prime factors is the greatest number / factor, which is called Greatest Common Divisors (GCD) or Highest Common Factors (HCF) Highest Common Factor ‘HCF’ of two or more numbers is the greatest number that divides each one of given numbers exactly. Method of prime factorization for finding of HCF of two o
