What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 39?
Answer
LCM of 12 and 39 is
156
First common multiples: 156, 312, 468, …
156 is divisible by both: 156 ÷ 12 = 13, 156 ÷ 39 = 4 — and 13 and 4 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/12 by 13 and of y/39 by 4.

| 2 | 22 | — | 22 |
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 13 | — | 13 | 13 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
