The least common denominator of those numbers is in fact not 5, but
24000000. =LCM(A1,A2)
If you wanted the highest common factor it would be 600000. =GCD(A1,A2)

The numbers I am working with are 3,000,0000 and 4,800,000. I know the
answer is 5. I need to come up with a formula that will give me the
answer
of 5.
