It's because factoring very large numbers is very hard, and can take computers a long time to do. In this class, students will be guided through what factors, multiples, and prime numbers are as well as how to express a number as a product of its prime factors. Students will also get the get the opportunity to use a Venn diagram to find the HCF and LCM of two numbers. This class is aimed at students in Years 8 - 11 and is a great revision tool!
