IV. PROCEDURES:
A. MOTIVATION
(Engaging the Learners)
Inductive Learning TITLE: THE SIEVE OF ERATHOSTHENES
Step 1. Examine carefully the given set of numbers.
Step 2. Cancel all multiples of each prime numbers
beginning with 2, including number 1 which is not prime
nor composite.
Step 3. Write all primes on the right side of the table.
B. LECTURE/ DISCUSSION Key Concepts:
(Explaining the important
concepts) Prime Numbers
Prime numbers are whole numbers greater than 1
that cannot be exactly divided by any whole number
other than itself and 1 (e.g. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11).
Describe the properties of prime numbers.
A prime number is a whole number greater
than 1.
It has exactly two factors, that is, 1 and the
number itself.
There is only one even prime number, that is,
2.
Any two prime numbers are always co-prime
to each other.
Every number can be expressed as the
product of prime numbers.
Prime Factorization Methods
Prime factorization is a way of expressing a number as
a product of its prime factors. A prime number is a
number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number
itself. For example, if we take the number 30. We know
that 30 = 5 × 6, but 6 is not a prime number. The number
6 can further be factorized as 2 × 3, where 2 and 3 are
prime numbers. Therefore, the prime factorization of 30 =
2 × 3 × 5, where all the factors are prime numbers.
C. APPLICATION Methods to Find Prime Numbers Easily
(Elaborating the Step 1: First find the factors of the given number.
concepts)
Step 2: Check the number of factors of that number.
Step 3: If the number of factors is more than two, it is
not a prime number.
Illustrative Examples:
Express the following numbers as product of its prime
factors:
1. 40
2. 15
3. 25
4. 62
5. 80
D. EVALUATION Quiz
Direction: Find the prime factors of the following numbers.
1. 63
2. 100
3. 120
4. 75
5. 56
