You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are almost right. The sum is $\"47%2F60\"$ , not $\"47%2F180\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "An extra $\"3\"$ factor slipped into your denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "Mistakes like that happen to me all the time.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Since 3, 4,and 5 are relatively prime to one another (no pair of them has a single common factor),
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2A4%2A5=60=3%2A20=4%2A15=5%2A12\"$ is the minimum common multiple and the least common denominator
\n" ); document.write( "
