Peer reviewedPagni, David L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
The concept of prime factorization is discussed and two rules are developed: one for finding the number of divisors of a number and the other for finding the sum of the divisors. (MP)

Peer reviewedDavies, H. B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1980
Attention is drawn to an ancient Greek method for finding the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers. A link is established between this method and a well-known method of obtaining the highest common factor (HCF) numbers. This leads to consideration of some relationships between HCF and LCM.
