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
