So the greatest common factor 179,940 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 353,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 183913
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/183913
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 179/353,940/521 is 1/183913
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 353,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(353,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(353,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(353,521) = ( 353 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(353,521) = 183913 / 1
LCM(353,521) = 183913
