That's not quite correct. When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators, and then the denominators. 204 is correct, though the denominator should be 420. That makes the answer for the next step 204/420. However, you must simplify, and so the answer then becomes 51/105

2/3 x 6/7 x 17/20 = 2/1 x 2/7 x 17/20 = 1/1 x 2/7 x 17/10 = 1/1 x 1/7 x 17/5 = 17/35

depend of the situation
if multiple=(2/3)*(6/7)*(17/20)=17/35
if addition, the LCM =420 which you have to multiple each fraction first
[(140*2/3)+(20*6/7)+(14*17/20)]=[(280/420)+(120/420)+(238/420)]=638/420=ans
try to make it small number as possible as you could, ans/5=127.6/84
