1,850
First common multiples: 1,850; 3,700; 5,550; …
1,850 is divisible by both: 1,850 ÷ 50 = 37; 1,850 ÷ 185 = 10 — and 37 and 10 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/50 by 37 and of y/185 by 10.
50 = 2 × 52
185 = 5 × 37

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | — | 2 |
| 5 | 52 | 5 | 52 |
| 37 | — | 37 | 37 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
