Answer
LCM of 45 and 50 is
450
First common multiples: 450; 900; 1,350; …
450 is divisible by both: 450 ÷ 45 = 10, 450 ÷ 50 = 9 — and 10 and 9 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/45 by 10 and of y/50 by 9.
45 = 32 × 5
50 = 2 × 52

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | — | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 32 | — | 32 |
| 5 | 5 | 52 | 52 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 2 × 32 × 52 = 450
