Lesson 1.1 Prime Numbers
• Prime Numbers:
prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 23. If we can make it by
multiplying other whole numbers it is a Composite Number.

b) LCM of 4 and 5
4x1=4 5x1=5
4x2=8 5 x 2 =10
4 x 3 = 12 5 x 3 = 15
4 x 5 = 20 5 x 4 = 20
4 x 10 = 40 5 x 8 = 40
20 and 40 are common multiples of 4 and 5, and if we continue, we will find other
common multiples.
20 is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4 and 5.

c) LCM of 6 and 18
6x1=6 18 x 1 = 18
6 x 2 = 12
6 x 3 = 18
Exercise
