So the greatest common factor 270,525 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,118
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11210
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/11210
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 270/95,525/118 is 15/11210
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 95,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,118) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,118) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(95,118) = ( 95 × 118 ) / 1
LCM(95,118) = 11210 / 1
LCM(95,118) = 11210
