The DUCK SHOOT game to practice
'HCF using product notation' for 8th grade

Find the highest common factor (HCF) of pairs of numbers using prime factorization and product notation

The highest common factor (HCF) of two numbers is the largest factor that is common to both numbers. It is also known as the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

Product notation is a way of representing a number as a product of its prime factors. For example, the prime factorization of 24 can be written as 2ยณ ร— 3ยน. To find the HCF of two or more numbers using product notation, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Write the prime factorization of each number using product notation.
  2. Identify the common factors of the two numbers
  3. Take the lower power of each factor that appears in both of the factorizations.
  4. Multiply the common factors together to get the HCF.

Example 1: Find the HCF of 18 and 24.

The prime factorization of 18 is:18 = 2ยน x 3ยฒ

The prime factorization of 24 is:24 = 2ยณ x 3ยน

To find the HCF of 18 and 24, we take the lowest power of each prime factor that appears in both factorizations:

HCF(18,24) = 2ยน ร— 3ยน = 6


Example 2: Find the HCF of 16 and 28.

The prime factorization of 16 is:16 = 2โด

The prime factorization of 28 is:28 = 2ยฒ x 7ยน

To find the HCF of 16 and 28, we take the lower power of each prime factor that appears in both factorizations:

HCF(16,28) = 2ยฒ = 4


In this topic you are asked to find the highest common factor of pairs of numbers presenting your answers in product notation.

With our Duck shoot math game you will be practicing the topic "HCF using product notation" from 8th grade / Number / Multiples Factors Primes / Multiples Factors Primes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the Highest Common Factor (HCF) using product notation for the given pairs of numbers.

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!

How to play Duck shoot 3

  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.
