    • @LetsDoMath
      @LetsDoMath  3 года назад +1

      Great stuff. The second one, with repeated prime factors is a bit stronger I think. Probably because I’d done a lot more practice with this strategy and was much more comfortable with it. In this first video, I’d only just come up with the method. Pretty exciting stuff though, to be able to suddenly get all those pesky factors, where previously, no matter how hard I tried, I’d miss at least a couple of factors. Now, that’s a thing of the past.

Good for you, coming back to the math with solid purpose! If you put in regular practice at solving problems, you'll really see the benefit quickly - in terms of how quickly you think through a problem, and the success you have at solving those problems. Practice really is the key. And it's a pleasure to help, of course! 🤗😉😃

      Maybe take a look at the second vid where there are repeating primes. That might help you to see a second example. It IS quite a headache to get your head around.
      Tbh most of the examples you’ll get I would expect to be 2-digit numbers, and values for which you can immediately find 2 factor pairs. Like 54 is from 6x9. Find the primes of 6 (2 and 3) and the primes of 9 (3x3). Now it’s easy enough to get all your combos I think.

      Take a look at the second one too, with repeating primes as part of the decomposition.
      Tbh, I don’t know that we need this very often. I came up with this method in answer to the really horrible times when I’ve seen a class be told to find all the factors using ‘guess and check’. That approach is disheartening for me, never mind seeing kids’ confidence get crushed that way! We want to enable kids as mathematicians, not leave them feeling unable to do it, or even find a way n to start beyond crappy guess n check!

      Thanks very much, I’m glad it helps. If you use my website letsdomath.ca you’ll easily find lots of stuff to help. It’s all set out in topic groups and leads you through each area I’ve covered.
      There is a second vid I made using this method for finding all the factors, and I think it’s really helpful because it uses repeating primes, and in that vid I use both dividing by a prime to reduce the number, and factor tree. You can do that - mix and match methods for ease and speed.
      I should say that often, Factorizing questions have smaller numbers, and often you can do them just with your tables knowledge and not need this method.
      I made these videos because I was upset by something I saw in class one day. As a supporting supply teacher, I observed students given values to factorize that were too big for them and they were told to use ‘guess and check’ to find every factor. Those poor kids struggled and felt so discouraged by the end using this miserable time-wasting ‘strategy’. So I thought up a way to solve anything a teacher might reasonably throw at you. I hate wasting time in math class, there’s a lot to get through and confidence is built by feeling success, not by being discouraged because we haven’t got the tools to solve a problem. Now you have the tools! 😃🤗🥰

    After going through your video and working out the factors for 210, I tried working out a random number, 432. I'm confused with how this method works with a number such as 432. After prime factorizing I'm left with 2 to the power of 4 and 3 to the power of 3 and I'm not sure how that works to show me all the factors of 432. How would you work out 432?

      @LetsDoMath  3 года назад +2

      Thank you very much! I think the next one, with the repeating primes is possibly a bit better. It also has some music I thought was kind of fun for the part where you collect all the primes. I think maybe I had a better handle on the process on the next one. It might be a bit clearer. On this first one I was so excited I'd worked a way of doing it on paper I had to get a vid out immediately.
      With your 180,360... are you using repeated division using prime divisors?
      That's a stinky one, by the way; I just did it.
      Do you know the rule of divisibility for 3? I have a vid on it. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/xdunx3IbkeI/видео.html
      I got down to 167. It looked fishy so I googled it: it's prime. Like I said, that's stinky.
      If you didn't already know the rule of divisibility for 3, this is really going to help you on your prime factorization problems. 😉🤗😎💕

      Hi there. Just my personal preference, really. Any time I have an even number I just always start with 2. Of course you could also start with 5. Order doesn't matter as long as you pick all those primes up - just whatever seems easiest is fine.

    But how should I do it with 108? With this method I get 10 factors, not 12 based on google

    • @LetsDoMath
      @LetsDoMath  Год назад +1

      For 108, you know that’s from 12x9, don’t you? Do you get that right off the bat. It’s even, so you know 2 is a factor. Divide 108 by 2 and get 54. Divide by 2 again and get 27.
      2 crops up twice so 4 is a factor. Divide 108 by 4 and get 27 (already found that one, but you can see now you’ve confirmed 4. Think about 3… is it a factor? Well 3 is a factor if 9 and 12… yes it’s a factor. 108 divided by 3 = 36
      Thinking in terms of those rainbows we use when we start factoring…
      1 x108 on extreme outer edges
      Then 2x 54
      Then 3x36
      Then 4x27
      2 and 3 are factors, so 6 is too. 108 divided by 6 = 18
      Then 6x18
      And in the middle spot, 9x12
      You do get 12 factors. Did you forget 1x108?

    Hi thx for the video! What do you divide the number by if it’s is odd? In this case, you divided it by 2, but how about when it’s odd?

    • @LetsDoMath
      @LetsDoMath  2 года назад

      Hi there. So I started with 2 because it's even (it's just my standard way of working). If a number ends in zero, I could also start with 5, because 5 is also clearly a factor.

    • @LetsDoMath
      @LetsDoMath  2 года назад

      If it's odd... well, hopefully your teacher curates numbers carefully for you, like I would. So if a number is odd, you should check to see if 3 is a factor. Use the rule of divisibility for 3 to check this out. I have a vid on this if you don't already know the rule. :o)

    • @LetsDoMath
      @LetsDoMath  2 года назад

      Did you look at the second one, where there are repeating primes? I think seeing it a second time with different numbers will help.
      Basically it’s just combining all the primes in every possible combination.
      And to be honest, I doubt this will come up much. In a test or exam it’s likely much smaller numbers. I came up with this method because that whole ‘guess-and-check’ method wasn’t cutting it. And seeing students struggle and just give up doesn’t work for me. We need a system to ensure we catch them all. Then it takes on an aspect of fun because you can actually do it. When you’re in guess-and-check, it’s such a frustrating state, in my view.

    • @LetsDoMath
      @LetsDoMath  16 дней назад

      Have you done prime factorization? If you’re new to that then this technique is not right for you yet.
      First get really confident with prime factorization.
      If your teacher wants you to find all the factors at this stage, it won’t be tricky numbers, it’ll be something within your multiplication tables knowledge (144 or less), so you don’t need this, and if you try it too soon, it’ll only end in frustration. I don’t want that for you!
      I came up with this technique in response to seeing a keen class become more and more disheartened trying to solve all the factors for a big number using ‘guess and check’ as directed by their teacher.
