Convert the denominator to same by taking LCM.

LCM OF 7,3,4, 5 is 420.

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} (4)/(7)=(240)/(420) \\ (2)/(3)=(280)/(420) \\ (1)/(4)=(105)/(420) \\ (3)/(5)=(252)/(420) \end{gathered}$

Here, denominators are same. Therefore, the least of it will be the least of the numerator.

$\begin{gathered} (105)/(420)<(240)/(420)<(252)/(420)<(280)/(420) \\ (1)/(4)<(4)/(7)<(3)/(5)<(2)/(3) \end{gathered}$
