D. GCF and LCM
Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
Refers to the largest common factor of two or more numbers
METHODS
Intersection of Sets
For each of the given numbers, list their factors in ascending order, and pick out the factor that is
common to both lists.
Factors of 45 {1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45}
Factors of 60 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60}
Common Factors {1, 3, 5, 15}

5 15 20
3 4
45 3 ∙ 3 ∙ 5
60 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 3 ∙ 5 The resulting quotients, 3 and 4 have no common factors.
Therefore, the GCF of 45 and 60 is the product of their
common factors:
GCF 3 ∙ 5 = 15 (3)(5) = 15

TYPES OF PROPORTIONS
A. Direct Proportion
As one quantity increases, the other also increases.
Example:
If 4 kg of mangoes cost as much as 3 kg of guavas, how many kg of mangoes would cost as much as 75 kg of guavas?
Solution:
Equate the ratio of the terms in the first condition to the ratio of the terms in the second condition. So, we have:
First Condition Second Condition
4 kg of mangoes n kg of mangoes
=
3 kg of guavas 75 kg of guavas
(4 kg of mangoes)(75 kg of guavas)
n=
3 kg of guavas
n = 100
B. Inverse Proportion
As one quantity increases, the other quantity decreases, and vice versa.
Example:
If the food in a crate is sufficient to feed 15 castaways in 14 days, how many days would it last for 30 castaways?
Solution:
Equate the product of the terms in the first condition to the product of the terms of the second condition. So, we have:
First Condition Second Condition
(15 castaways)(13 days) = (30 castaways)(n days)
Answer: The food supply will last for only 7 days for 30 castaways.
C. Partitive Proportion
One quantity is being partitioned into different proportions.
Example:
A piece of wood 150 cm long is cut in the ratio 2:3:5. Find the measure of each part.
Solution:
1. Add the terms of the ratio.
2 + 3 + 5 = 10
2. Divide the whole measure that was partitioned by the sum of the terms.
150 cm ÷ 10 = 15 cm
3. Multiply the quotient to each term of the ratio to find the measure of each part.
2 (15 cm) = 30 cm
3 (15 cm) = 45 cm
5 (15 cm) = 75 cm
Answer: The measures of the cut parts of wood are 30 cm, 45 cm, and 75 cm.
Answer: The measure of the missing side of the larger triangle is 9 cm.
VII. PERCENTS
Percent
Literally meaning ‘per hundred’, it refers to a special ratio that compares a numerical quantity to 100.

Answer: At the end of 18 months, Cedric will pay P3,825 in simple interest.
C. Compound Interest
To compute for compound interest:
- Use the simple interest formula, I – Prt, where t is the period of time for
compounding.
- Add the interest to the principal to create a new value for the principal
- Continue the first and second steps until the entire period is covered
The interest on an investment is reflected every
- 3 months if compounded quarterly
- 2 months if compounded bimonthly
- 6 months if compounded semiannually, and
- 12 months if compounded annually
Example:
What is the interest on P100,000 borrowed for 4 years at 16% interest rate per year compounded annually.
Solution:
Compute the compound interest at the end of each year.
After year 1: P100, 000 x 0.16 = P16,000
After year 2: (P100,000 + P16,000) x 0.16 = P18, 560
After year 3: (P116,000 + P18,500) x 0.16 = P21, 529.60
After year 4: (P134, 560 + P21,529.60) x 0.16 = P24,974.34
Total Interest after 4 years = P16,000 + P18,560 + P21,529 + P24,974 = P81,063.94

B. COUNTING TECHNIQUES
a) Permutation
refers to the number of possible arrangements for a given set of objects
Case 1: All of the objects are considered for each different arrangement
(nPn, read as “the permutation of n objects taken n at a time”)
This is represented by this operation:
nPn= n! (read as “n factorial”)
The factorial of a whole number is the product of that whole number and each of the natural numbers less than the number.
n! = n x (n – 1) x (n – 2) x … x 1
Example:
In how many ways can 6 books be placed on a shelf?
Solution: 6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720
Answer: There are 720 ways that 6 books can be placed on a shelf.
Case 2: Not all of the objects are considered for each different arrangement
(nPr, read as “the permutation of n objects taken r at a time”)
n!
nPr=
(n r)!
Example:
How many different arrangements of 5 students can be made in a row of 3 desks?
Solution:
n!
nPr=
(n r)!
5! 5! 5 · 4 · 3 · 2 ·1
5P3 = → 5P3= = = 5 ∙ 4 ∙ 3 = 60
(5 3)! 2! 2 ·1
Answer:
There are 60 different arrangements of 5 students that can be made in a row of 3 desks.
b) Combination
refers to the total number of groupings of a set of objects.
The order of the objects is not important when dealing with combinations.
n!
nCr=
(n r)!r!
Example:
How many different 4-person committees can be formed from a total of 8 people?
Solution:
n!
nCr=
(n r)!r!
8! 8! 8 · 7 · 6 ·5 · 4 · 3 · 2 ·1 8 · 7 · 6 ·5
8C4 = → = = = 70
(8 4)!4! 4!4! (4 · 3 · 2 ·1)(4 · 3 · 2 ·1) 4 · 3 · 2 ·1
Answer: There are 70 different 4-person committees that can be formed from 8 people.
POLYNOMIALS
a) Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
When adding and subtracting polynomials, only like terms can be combined.
Examples:
5z + 6z = 11z 18x2 - 8x2 = 10x2
b) Multiplying Polynomials
1. Monomial by a monomial
Multiply the coefficients and then follow the rules for multiplying the exponents for like
bases.
Example: Solution:
2x3 ∙ 4x4 2x3 ∙ 4x4 = (2)(4)∙(x3)(x4) = 8x7
2. Monomial by a Polynomial
Use the distributive property
Example: Solution:
3a2 (2a + 4) 3a2 (2a + 4) = (3a2)(2a) + (3a2)(4)
= 6a3 + 12a2
3. Binomial by a Binomial
Use FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last)
Example:
(x – 3)(x + 4)
Terms Factors Product
First x∙x x2
Outer x∙4 4x
Inner -3 ∙ x -3x
Last -3 ∙ 4 -12
(x – 3)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x – 3x – 12
= x2 + x – 12
4. Any polynomial by a polynomial
Use the distributive property
Example:
(2x – 1)(3x2 – 5x + 2)
Solution:
(2x – 1)(3x2 – 5x + 2) = 6x3 – 10x2 + 4x - 3x2 + 5x – 2
= 6x3 – 13x2 + 9x – 2
FACTORING
a) Using GCF
To find the GCF of any polynomial, look for common factors in the coefficients, and
common variables between each term.
Example:
Factor 4x4 + 12x3.
Solution:
The GCF of 4x4 + 12x3.is 4x3, so factor out 4x3 from each term.
4x4 + 12x3 = 4x3 (x + 3)
Example: Solution:
Factor x2 – 49. x2 – 49 = (x – 7)(x + 7)
e) Factoring Completely
To factor polynomials completely, the expression must be broken down into its smallest
possible factors.
Steps:
1. Factor out the GCF, if it exists.
2. Factor the difference between two squares.
3. Factor the trinomial into two binomials (FOIL).
4.

c) Multiplying and Dividing
Steps:
1. Factor each numerator and denominator of the fractions when possible.
2. Cancel out any common factors between the numerators and denominators.
3. Multiply across any remaining factors.
4. When dividing, simply take the reciprocal of the fraction being divided by and then
multiply as explained in steps (1) to (3).
Example: Solution:

B. ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS
Solving Equations
Here are the steps to ensure success when solving an equation:
1. Simplify each side of the equation separately:
Apply the distributive property when needed.
Combine like terms when needed.
2. Move the variable to one side of the equation.
3. Perform the inverse operations of either addition or subtraction.
4. Perform the inverse operations of multiplication or division.
5. Check your answer by substituting the value of the variable into the original equation.
Example 1: -2(x + 8) = 32
Solution:
-2(x + 8) = 32 Given
-2x – 16 + 16 = 32 + 16
Add 16 to both sides.
-2x = 48
-2x 48
=
-2 -2 Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
x = -24
