So the greatest common factor 1298,3156 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 311,548
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 170428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/170428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1298/311,3156/548 is 2/170428
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 311,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,548) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,548) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,548) = ( 311 × 548 ) / 1
LCM(311,548) = 170428 / 1
LCM(311,548) = 170428
