What is the simplest way to calculate this determinant using properties of determinants?
$begingroup$
A=$begin{bmatrix} frac ab & frac bc & frac ca\a & b & c\ab & bc & caend{bmatrix}$
Or maby there is no shorcut to calculate the det(A)?

It seems that Sarrus rule is good enough

You can divide the first column by $a/b$, the second one by $b/c$, the third one by $c/a$, since the product of these numbers is $1$, the determinant is unchanged but the matrix has a better-known form.

Perform $C_3to C_3-(c/b)C_2,C_2to C_2-(b/a)C_1$,
$$simbegin{vmatrix} frac ab & frac bc-1& frac ca-1\a &0 & 0\ab & b(c-b) & c(a-c)end{vmatrix}$$Now, factor out $a,(b-c),(c-a)$ from the first three columns respectively,$$sim a(c-a)(b-c)
begin{vmatrix} frac 1b & frac 1c& frac 1a\1 &0 & 0\b &-b& -cend{vmatrix}$$and expand along the second row to get the answer $(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)$.
