2 Prime Numbers: Unit 3 Factors & Products Prime numbers are numbers that have exactly two divisors, 1 and itself. In other words, these are numbers that can only be divided evenly by 1 and itself. Ex) 7, 11, 19 **The number 1 is not considered prime as it only has one number it can be divided by evenly. Ex) List all of the prime numbers up to 0. Composite Numbers: Composite numbers are numbers that have more than two divisors or are numbers that can be evenly divided by more than two numbers. Ex) 1, 6, 45

3 3 Prime Factorization: The prime factorization of a natural number is the number written as a product of its prime factors. Ex) Determine the prime factorization of the following numbers

4 4 Greatest Common Factor: The greatest common factor of two or more numbers is the largest number that each can be divided by. Ex) Determine the greatest common factor for each set of numbers. a) 1 and 0 b) 138 and 198 c) 16, 144, and 630

5 5 Least Common Multiple: The least common multiple is the smallest number that can be divided evenly by two or more given numbers. Ex) Determine the least common multiple of each set of numbers. a) 14 and 1 b) 18, 0, and 30 c) 8, 4, and 63

6 6 Ex) What is the side length of the smallest square that could be tiled with rectangles that measure 16 cm by 40 cm? Assume the tiles cannot be cut.

11 11 Multiplying Polynomials: Monomial Polynomial When multiplying a monomial to a polynomial, the monomial is distributed into the brackets Ex) 3x(5x + 9) ab (14a 5a b 3 + b) Ex) Expand the following. a) 3x( 5x 7x) b) 5x 3 ( 9x 4 3x 3 + x 1) c) 7xy ( 3x 3 y + x 4 6y + x) d) 10y 4 ( 6x y 3 + xy)

12 1 Polynomial Polynomial When multiplying one polynomial to another, each term of one polynomial must be multiplied to each term of the other polynomial. Once fully expanded look for like terms in order to simplify the answer. Ex) (x + 5)(x 7) Ex) (x 4)(x + 1) Ex) ( x + 5x + 3)( x 8)

25 5 Factoring by Grouping: Factoring by grouping can be used to factor polynomials with 4 terms. Ex) x + 8x + 3x + 1 = x + 8 x + 3x + 1 Group the terms = x x x + 4 Remove a common factor ( ) ( ) from each group. The bracketed sections should be the same. = x+ 4 x+ 3 Factor out the common ( )( ) bracketed binomial from each group. Ex) Factor the following by grouping. a) m 10m 3m 15 + b) 10 5 a a + b b c) x 3xy xy + 6y d) ac + 4ad + bc + 8bd

26 6 e) x x x f) 3 x x x g) 9ac + 3a + 3bc + b h) 5x 30x 15x + 90 i) x x xy y x j) ac ab a bc b b

30 30 Factoring by Decomposition: Factoring using the method of decomposition is typically used to factor trinomials. Essentially it is a method that turns a trinomial (3 terms) into a polynomial of 4 terms that can then be factored by grouping. Ex) 3x + 17x = 17 = 30 Find two numbers that add up to the middle coefficient (17) and multiply to the first times the last coefficient (30). 3x + 15x + x + 10 Use these numbers to break up the middle term. 3x x x + 5 Complete using the method ( ) ( ) ( x 5)( 3x ) + + of factoring by grouping.
