Answer
LCM of 33 and 42 is
462
First common multiples: 462; 924; 1,386; …
462 is divisible by both: 462 ÷ 33 = 14, 462 ÷ 42 = 11 — and 14 and 11 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/33 by 14 and of y/42 by 11.

| 2 | — | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 7 | — | 7 | 7 |
| 11 | 11 | — | 11 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
