The total resistance, R, in a parallel circuit with three resistances, R1, R2, and R3, is given by the formula
1 over R equals 1 over R subscript 1 plus 1 over R subscript 2 plus 1 over R subscript 3
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.
==============
DEN = R1*R2*R3
--------
1/R = 2(R1 + R2 + R3)/DEN
---------------
I recommend doing theM 2 at a time:
For R1 & R2:
R4 = R1*R2/(R1+R2)
------
Then, R = R4*R3/(R4+R3)
