Answer

LCM of 13 and 49 is
637

First common multiples: 637; 1,274; 1,911; …

637 is divisible by both: 637 ÷ 13 = 49, 637 ÷ 49 = 13 — and 49 and 13 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/13 by 49 and of y/49 by 13.

13 and 49 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 13 × 49 = 637.
