Answer

LCM of 104 and 156 is
312

First common multiples: 312, 624, 936, …

312 is divisible by both: 312 ÷ 104 = 3, 312 ÷ 156 = 2 — and 3 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/104 by 3 and of y/156 by 2.

104 = 23 × 13

156 = 22 × 3 × 13
