The DUCK SHOOT game to practice
'LCM using product notation' for 7th grade

Show the lowest common multiple of 2 numbers using product notation

To find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers, you need to find the smallest multiple that both numbers have in common. One way to do this is to use prime factorization and product notation. Here are the steps:

  1. Write each number as a product of prime factors.
  2. Then write the prime factors of each number, multiplying each factor by the highest power it appears in either number.

For example:
The prime factorization of one number is 2² x 3 x 5.
The prime factorization of the other number is 2 x 3² x 7.
The product notation is 2² x 3² x 5 x 7.

If required, you can simplify the product notation by multiplying the bases and their respective exponents. For example, 2² x 3² x 5 x 7 = 4 x 9 x 5 x 7 = 1260.

Here's an example of how to find the LCM of 12 and 15 using product notation:

Write each number as a product of prime factors.

  • The prime factorization of 12 is 2² x 3
  • The prime factorization of 15 is 3 x 5

Write the prime factors of each number in product notation, multiplying each factor by the highest power it appears in either number: 2² x 3 x 5. Note that the factor 5 appears in only one of the numbers but we still include it in the product notation.

To get the LCM as a number you can simplify the product notation by multiplying the bases and their respective exponents.

Therefore, the LCM of 12 and 15 is 2² x 3 x 5 in product notation, which is 60.


In this topic you are asked to use prime factorization to derive the lowest common multiple of 2 numbers and present your answer using product notation.

With our Duck shoot math game you will be practicing the topic "LCM using product notation" from 7th grade / Number / Multiples Factors Primes / Multiples Factors Primes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 2 numbers using product notation.

DUCK SHOOT is a fairground themed game of knocking ducks off the rail to score points

Large thumbnail for math game Duck shoot

DUCK SHOOT is a fun game to learn math where you attempt to knock over all the fairground ducks in each level. In the first level there are only 6 ducks but by level 10 there are 24 fast moving "quackers quacking"...

After each level, win an additional 20 points by correctly answering a math question from your selected topic. There is no timer in this game: take as long as you like to answer the math questions correctly for a best score to get you on the DUCK SHOOT leaderboard.

Notes

  • This is a fun game of knocking over as many tin ducks as you can
  • Also suitable for tablets and mobiles (it's actually more fun than with a mouse)
  • Answer math questions correctly for a higher score
  • No timer element, you can relax and concentrate on getting your math right!

  1. In each level of DUCK SHOOT, knock over as many ducks as you can.
  2. Drag the orange ball back and away from the ducks then let go.
  3. This will release a flying ball that will shoot towards the ducks (hopefully).
  4. Any duck the flying ball hits will fall off the rail.
  5. You get 5 points for each duck you hit.
  6. You lose 5 points for each duck that escapes.
  7. When all the ducks have been knocked off or have exited the screen, you get a math question from your selected topic.
  8. Answering the question correctly adds 20 points to your score.
  9. A wrong answer takes 10 points away from your score.
  10. In each level there are more ducks.
  11. Your final score is a combination of the number of ducks you hit minus the number that escaped, plus the points you get from the math questions.
  12. There is a high score leaderboard for each topic.
