Answer

LCM of 7 and 39 is
273

First common multiples: 273, 546, 819, …

273 is divisible by both: 273 ÷ 7 = 39, 273 ÷ 39 = 7 — and 39 and 7 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/7 by 39 and of y/39 by 7.

7 and 39 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 7 × 39 = 273.
