Brute Force and Divide and Conquer Multiples and Factors
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

In the field of computer science, there are two approaches to solving a problem. One, being Brute Force, which is the method of just working out the problem until it is solved. This can be related to students with the idea of never giving up, or "I think I can, I think I can". Divide and Conquer is a problem solving method that braeks a larger problem into smaller problems. For example, if you have a big chore such as cleaning a house, start with one room at a time. This lesson applies these two methods to mathematics by using Brute Force to find multiples and common multiple of numbers. While the Divide and Conquer method is applied to fiding factors of a number through divisibility rules.
