8 1 Monomials and Factoring Objective Students will
8. 1 Monomials and Factoring Objective Students will be able to: 1. find the prime factorization of a monomial. 2. find the greatest common factor (GCF) for a set of monomials.
A prime number is a number that can only be divided by one and itself. A composite number is a number greater than one that is not prime. Prime or composite? 37 prime 51 composite
Ex 1: Prime or Composite? 89 1. 2. 3. 4. Prime Composite Both Neither
Ex 2) Find the prime factorization of 84. 84 = 4 • 21 = 2 • 3 • 7 = 22 • 3 • 7 Ex 3) Find the prime factorization of -210 = -1 • 30 • 7 = -1 • 6 • 5 • 7 = -1 • 2 • 3 • 5 • 7
Ex 4) Find the prime factorization of 45 a 2 b 3 = 9 • 5 • a • b • b = 32 • 5 • a • b • b Write the variables without exponents.
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2 or more numbers is the largest number that can divide into all of the numbers. Ex 5) Find the GCF of 42 and 60. Write the prime factorization of each number.
Ex 5) Find the GCF of 42 and 60. 42 = 60 = 2 • 3 • 7 2 • 3 • 5 What prime factors do the numbers have in common? Multiply those numbers. The GCF is 2 • 3 = 6 6 is the largest number that can go into 42 and 60!
Ex 6) Find the GCF of 40 a 2 b and 48 ab 4. 40 a 2 b = 2 • 2 • 5 • a • b 48 ab 4 = 2 • 2 • 3 • a • b • b What do they have in common? Multiply the factors together. GCF = 8 ab
Ex 7) What is the GCF of 48 and 64? 1. 2. 3. 4. 2 4 8 16
8. 1 HW PG. 472 #10 – 21 ALL, 43 – 47 ODD (15 PROBLEMS)
