Use models to determine whether 5 is prime or composite. 5 1 1 5 1 5 5 1 You can arrange the 5 tiles in only 2 ways: 5 1 and 1 5. So, 5 is a prime number. You can also use divisibility rules to determine if a number is prime or composite. If a number is divisible by another number (besides 1 and itself), then it is composite. Divisibility Rules Even numbers are divisible by 2. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3. Numbers divisible by 5 will end in a 0 or a 5. There is no common rule for numbers divisible by 7. Check by dividing. Examples 4, 8, 12, 16, 18, 182 are all divisible by 2. 342 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 9 9 3 = 3 342 is divisible by 3. 10, 15, 85, and 375 are all divisible by 5. 14, 21, 70, 140 are all divisible by 7. Use divisibility rules to determine if 117 is prime or composite. Try Is it a factor? 2 No, 117 is not even. 3 Yes, because 1 + 1 + 7 = 9 and 9 3 = 3. So, 117 is a composite number because it is divisible by 3. Check 117 3 = 39. 294 Factors, Fractions, and Decimals

Use divisibility rules to determine if 61 is prime or composite. Try Is it a factor? 2 No, 61 is not even. No, because 6 + 1 = 7 3 and 7 is not divisible by 3. 5 No, 61 does not end in 0 or 5. 7 No, 61 7 has a remainder. The divisibility rules show that 61 is a prime number. About It 1.

Multi-Part Lesson PART 2 Fractions in Simplest Form A B C Main Idea I will use the GCF to write a fraction in simplest form. Vocabulary simplest form Simplest Form A fraction is written in simplest form when the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1. The simplest form of a fraction is one of its many equivalent fractions. Get ConnectED GLE 0506.1.1 Use mathematical language, symbols, and definitions while developing mathematical reasoning. SPI 0506.2.7 Recognize equivalent representations for the same number. MEASUREMENT A praying mantis is 12 centimeters long, and a walking stick is 22 centimeters long. So, a praying mantis is 12_ 22 of the length of a walking stick. Write the fraction in simplest form. Step 1 Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 factors of 22: 1, 2, 11, 22 The GCF of 12 and 22 is 2. Step 2 Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number is equivalent to dividing by one. _ 12 22 = _ 12 2 22 2 = _ 6 11 The GCF of 6 and 11 is 1.

Get ConnectED GLE 0506.1.1 Use mathematical language, symbols, and definitions while developing mathematical reasoning. SPI 0506.2.7 Recognize equivalent representations for the same number. Fractions and Decimals Fractions with denominators that are factors of 10, 100, or 1,000 can be written as decimals by writing equivalent fractions. 3_ Write Fractions as Decimals Write as a decimal. 4 Since 4 is a factor of 100, write an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. 3_ 25 4 = 75 100 25 _ Since 4 25 = 100, multiply 3 25. = 0.75 Read 0.75 as seventy-five hundredths.
