The Least Common Denominator of 2, 4 and 25 is 100.
You need to multiply 2 by 50, 4 by 25, and 25 by 4 to make them all 100. Furthermore, you need to multiply the numerators by the same amounts to keep the fraction values the same.
Therefore, you have to make the following calculations so the fractions keep the same value and get the same denominator:
