Lets's calculate LCM of 68,21,35,40
| 2 | 68, 21, 35, 40 |
| 2 | 34, 21, 35, 20 |
| 5 | 17, 21, 35, 10 |
| 7 | 17, 21, 7, 2 |
| 17, 3, 1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 17 x 3 x 1 x 2 = 14280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14280

Least Common Multiple of 68,21,35,40 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 68,21,35,40 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,21,35,40) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 140
GCF(68,21,35,40) x common factors =1 x 140 = 140
LCM(68,21,35,40) = ( 68 × 21 × 35 × 40 ) / 140
LCM(68,21,35,40) = 1999200 / 140
LCM(68,21,35,40) = 14280
