Answer
LCM of 38 and 52 is
988
First common multiples: 988; 1,976; 2,964; …
988 is divisible by both: 988 ÷ 38 = 26, 988 ÷ 52 = 19 — and 26 and 19 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/38 by 26 and of y/52 by 19.
38 = 2 × 19
52 = 22 × 13

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 22 | 22 |
| 13 | — | 13 | 13 |
| 19 | 19 | — | 19 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 22 × 13 × 19 = 988
