So the greatest common factor 2948,2314 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 619,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 617143
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/617143
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2948/619,2314/997 is 2/617143
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 619,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(619,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(619,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(619,997) = ( 619 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(619,997) = 617143 / 1
LCM(619,997) = 617143
