1/2+2/3+3/4 = 23/12.
We need first part i.e 1/2.
1/2 * 12/23 * 782 = 204.
We need first part i.e 1/2.
1/2 * 12/23 * 782 = 204.

Do LCM of 2,3,4.=12.
Now 1/2*12=6,2/3*12=8,3/4*12=9. That's 6:8:9.
Now 1/2*12=6,2/3*12=8,3/4*12=9. That's 6:8:9.

(1/2+2/3+3/4)x = 782.
x = 408.
Then,
1/2 of x = 1/2*(408) = 204.
x = 408.
Then,
1/2 of x = 1/2*(408) = 204.

Multiply all the ratio with LCM 12, then you get the answer.
