Answer
LCM of 18 and 57 is
342
First common multiples: 342; 684; 1,026; …
342 is divisible by both: 342 ÷ 18 = 19, 342 ÷ 57 = 6 — and 19 and 6 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/18 by 19 and of y/57 by 6.

57 = 3 × 19

| 3 | 32 | 3 | 32 |
| 19 | — | 19 | 19 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
