Associative Property of Addition – the property that states when the grouping of addends is changed, the sums is the same Example: (2 + 5) +7 = 2 + (5 + 7)
Common Factor – a number that is a factor of two or more numbers Example: factors of 4: 1, 2, 4 factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6 - 1 & 2 are the common factors
Commutative Property of Addition – the property that states that when the order of two or more addends is changes, the sum is the same Example: 4 + 6 = 6 + 4
Composite number – a whole number having more than two numbers Example: 2 (1,2)
Divisible – a number is divisible by another number if the quotient is a whole number and the remainder is zero
Factor Tree – a diagram that shows the prime factors of a number
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) – the greatest factor that two or more numbers have in common
Example: 2 – (1, 2)
4 – (1. 2. 4)
6 – (1, 2, 3, 6)
2 is the GCF of 2, 4 & 6

A number is divisible by:
Example Your Example
2 – if the last number is even
96
3 – if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3
96 (9+6 =15)15 ÷ 3 = 5
4 – if the last two digits form a number divisible by 4
12828 ÷ 4 = 7
5 – if the last digit is 0 or 5
355
6 – if the number is divisible by 2 and 3
966 is even (9+6=15)
15÷3
9 – if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9
396 (3+9+6=18)18 ÷ 9 = 2

17. The number of stamps in one set is divisible only by 5. Which set is it?
18.Tina collects stamps. She wants to purchase two different sets of stamps so that she can put 9 stamps on a page in her collector’s notebook and not have any stamps left over. Which two sets of stamps should she purchase?
19. Geri wants to put 10 stamps on some pages in her stamp book and 9 stamps on other pages. Explain how she could do this with the stamp set for Japan.
16. Dirk bought a set of stamps that has fewer stamps than the set for Germany. The number of stamps in the set he bought is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6 and 10. Which set is it?
How can you tell if a number is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 10?
Prime numbers – a whole number greater than 1 that has exactly two factors, 1 and itself
Example: factors of 13: 1, 13
Composite numbers – a whole number greater than 1 that has more than two factors
Example: factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Prime NumbersStep 1: Cross out 1,
because it is not a
prime number (it has
only one factor)
Step 2: Circle 2, since
it is prime (factors: 1,2)
Cross out all other
multiples of 2.
Step 3: Circle the next
number that is not
crossed out & then
cross out all of
multiples of that
number.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3
until every number is
either circled or
crossed out.
How can you tell whether a number is prime or composite?
E very composite number can be written as a product of factors that are all prime numbers.
A factor tree can be used – a diagram that shows the prime factors of a number
There are two ways to begin a factor tree – using basic facts of the number or divisibility rulesWhich ever strategy you use continue with it
until the only factors remaining are prime numbers

Basic fact: 6 x 8 = 484 + 8 = 12 (12 is divisible by 3 therefore 48 is also)
Start by
choosing a prime
factor by which
the number is
divisible. Then
divide.
Continue
dividing by a
prime factor
until the quotient
is 1.

How can you find all the prime factors of a number?
A common factor is a number that is a factor of two or more numbers.
Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9The common factors are 1 and 3.Greatest Common Factor is the greatest
factor that two or more numbers have in common.
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 6 & 9 is 3.

The commutative property of addition states that when the order of two addends is changed, the sum is the same. For example: 4 + 5 = 5 + 4
The associative property of addition states that when the grouping of addends is changed, the sum is the same. The grouping of addends is usually shown by parentheses. For example: (5 + 8) + 4 = 5 + (8 + 4)
