Answer
LCM of 50 and 125 is
250
First common multiples: 250, 500, 750, …
250 is divisible by both: 250 ÷ 50 = 5, 250 ÷ 125 = 2 — and 5 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/50 by 5 and of y/125 by 2.

| 5 | 52 | 53 | 53 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
