Lets's calculate LCM of 68,50,48,40
| 2 | 68, 50, 48, 40 |
| 2 | 34, 25, 24, 20 |
| 2 | 17, 25, 12, 10 |
| 5 | 17, 25, 6, 5 |
| 17, 1, 6, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 17 x 1 x 6 x 5 = 20400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20400

Least Common Multiple of 68,50,48,40 with GCF Formula
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 68,50,48,40 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,50,48,40) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 160
GCF(68,50,48,40) x common factors =2 x 160 = 320
LCM(68,50,48,40) = ( 68 × 50 × 48 × 40 ) / 320
LCM(68,50,48,40) = 6528000 / 320
LCM(68,50,48,40) = 20400
