It is rather unusal to ask for the least common multiple of functions. It is not clear how "least" is defined
In this case I'd guess the LCM is
500(x-1)^3 *(x+2)^2
If you divide that by either of your two functions, you get a product of monomials and integers, with a lowest integer coefficient.
500(x-1)^3 *(x+2)^2/f(x) = 25
500(x-1)^3 *(x+2)^2/g(x) = 2(x-1)(x+2)
