So the greatest common factor 2008,1617 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 423,139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58797
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/58797
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2008/423,1617/139 is 1/58797
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 423,139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(423,139) = ( 423 × 139 ) / 1
LCM(423,139) = 58797 / 1
LCM(423,139) = 58797
