Answer
LCM of 26 and 51 is
1,326
First common multiples: 1,326; 2,652; 3,978; …
1,326 is divisible by both: 1,326 ÷ 26 = 51; 1,326 ÷ 51 = 26 — and 51 and 26 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/26 by 51 and of y/51 by 26.
26 and 51 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 26 × 51 = 1,326.
26 = 2 × 13
51 = 3 × 17
| Prime | 26 | 51 | Highest power |

| 2 | 2 | — | 2 |
| 3 | — | 3 | 3 |
| 13 | 13 | — | 13 |
| 17 | — | 17 | 17 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 2 × 3 × 13 × 17 = 1,326
