We will be focusing
on multiples, common multiples, and the lowest common multiple (LCM) this week.
A multiple is the product of a number and any whole number. For example, multiples of 3 would be 3, 6, 9,
12… (3x1, 3x2, 3x3, 3x4…)
Common multiples are multiples
two numbers have in common. For example,
12 is a common multiple of 3 and 6
because 3 x 4 = 12
and 6 x 2 = 12.
A card game can be played with 2, 3, 4, or 5 players and each player always has an equal number of cards. What is the least number of cards that can be in the deck? (LCM)
