HCF, or highest common factor, was my goal a couple of weeks ago. I took, in my opinion, a bit long to learn it, but it's easy if you know what a factor is, which I do, but I was a long time ago... Excuses excuses, anyway, I would like to show you how to do it. ๐ Look below for instructions... First step: Find two or more numbers you want to find a common factor of. I'm going to use 24 & 36. Take those numbers and find all the factors of those numbers. 24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12 & 24. Those are all the factors of 24. Now let's try 36. 36: 1,2,3,4,6,12 & 36. What are the factors that are the same (btw these are also called common factors)? For 24 and 36 they are: 1,2,3,4,6 & 12. 12 is the highest out of the previous numbers, so the highest common factor of 24 & 36 is... 12. This goal was a goal that challenged me to know my times tables and division facts better, it also lead me to my current goal, divisibility rules. The two goals are related in man...
Hi Alison! Must be time to add more to your blog. I'm sure you've been up to lots of fun things at school, right?
