The Geometric Representation of Greatest Common Factor

A factor is an integer that divides another integer. The number 6 is a factor of 12 since 6 divides 12. It is easy to see that 1, 2, 3, 4, and 12 are also factors of 12. Looking at the numbers in the tables below, we can see that some numbers have only 2 factors, 1 and itself. These numbers are called prime numbers.

Notable Posts in Elementary School Mathematics

Mathematics and Multimedia has grown extensively since I first created in 2009, and honestly, I have stopped updated the pages or have created categories. There are many interesting posts that have been buried in this blog. Therefore, I will slowly post these categories in the days to come.

As part of this long term goal, I am now creating a list of topics under one category and create them as posts. This way, it will be easier for you to navigate them later. This is the first among these category posts.

In this post, I am going to share to you my notable posts in Elementary School Mathematics.
