Is there a formula to calculate the least common denominator?
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) -- David Biddulph "Gizmo" wrote in message ... 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.

It might be possible to help if you provided sample data and expected results. |

Actually, that would "Least Common Multiple" and "Greatest Common Divisor".
