TO FIND THE LCM OF 4 and 12:

2) Find the least multiple that both numbers have in common.

1) List the multiples of both numbers

4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20…12 = 12, 24, 36…

LCM is 12

Steps for RoundingFind the number. Circle it.

Look next door.4 or less just ignore.5 or more add one more.

Example: Round 5.328 to nearest hundredth. Circle the 2 in the hundredths place.

Look next door at the 8. It is 5 or more so add 1 more to the hundredths place.

5.328 rounds to 5.33

Multiplying Decimals

Steps for Multiplying Decimals

Step 1: Write the problem vertically.

Step 2: Ignore the decimal point(s) and multiply.

Step 3: Determine where the decimal point goes in the product.

Place the decimal point in the answer by counting how many places the decimal point has moved.
