Prime and Composite Numbers

Description

Least Common Multiple (LCM): The least common multiple of two integers a and b is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both a and b. For example, the LCM of 2 and 5 is 10. The LCM is essential for operations involving fractions, such as finding common denominators.

The mathematics behind this topic provides a foundation for understanding how numbers interact with one another. By exploring the patterns and properties of prime and composite numbers, students can develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Teacher's Script: Let’s explore an important concept that involves classifying numbers based on their factors. This concept will help us understand how numbers are built and how they can be broken down into their basic building blocks. Pay attention to the visuals and explanations to see how these ideas connect to everyday math!
