Divisibilty Rules, Factoring and Prime Factorization

In class students were introduced to the divisibility rules for the number s 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 12.  There are specific rules for each number and students should pay close attention to the rules for 3, 4, 6, 9 and 12 as it may be the first time they have encountered the rules.  Below, I have attached a reference sheet with the rules:

Reference Sheet - Divisibility Rules

Afterwards, students learned how to use the divisibility rules to factor and fins the prime factorization of a number.  We will finish the notes next class but in the meantime I have attached a document with examples of factoring and prime factorization:

The homework is listed below.
