A:
18. Find all the prime factors of 5, 915 and write it as a product of these
primes.
A:
19. Calculate the L .C.M. of the numbers 60 and 50, then write the L.C.M. as a
product that involves
each number.
Example: The L.C.M of 6 and 8 is 24. We then write 24 = 6x4 and 24 = 8x3.
A: L:C:M: = 300 =
300 = 60•5
300 = 50•6
20. Calculate the G.C.F. of the numbers 2, 220 and 260, then write each number
as a product that
involves the G.C.F.
Example: The G.C.F of 6 and 8 is 2. We then write 6 = 2 x3 and 8 = 2 x4.
A: G:C:F: = 20 = 2•2•5 = 22 •5
2260 = 20•113
260 = 20•13
21. Calculate both the L.C.M. and the G.C.F. of the numbers 78, 42, and 104.
A: L:C:M: = 2184 =
G:C:F: = 2
22. Rewrite the equation 15• 7 + 15 •23 + 15 •2 + 15 •8 = using the distributive
law.
A: 15 •(7 + 23 + 2 + 8 )
23. Rewrite the equation 12 •13 + 12 •12 + 12 •0 + 12• 5 = using the distributive
law .
A: 12• (13 + 12 + 0 + 5 )
24. Rewrite the equation 8 •(11 + 32 + 8 + 17) = using the distributive law.

Extra Question
Mr. Salazar doesn't like to perform operations involving multiplication of
numbers that are bigger than 100
in front of the class because:
a) Today is his birthday.
b) He has a niece called Abigail and another one called Beatriz.
c) He is very lazy and regards numbers bigger than one hundred as too large.
d) He and his wife teach Rueda de Casino (a.k.a. ` cuban salsa ') at a place
called La Bodeguita de
Pico1
e) Nueve por ocho, setenta y dos" doesn't sound very good in english.
f) All of the above.
I didn't learn the multiplication tables in English, so I perform the operations
in Spanish and
translate the result. Were you inside the classroom when I mentioned this fact?
Options a), b) and d) although true have nothing to do with me feeling
uncomfortable performing multipli-
cations.
