The factors of 300 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 300
The HCF of 600,300 is 300.
Lets's calculate GCF of 600,300
| 2 | 600, 300 |
| 2 | 300, 150 |
| 3 | 75, 150 |
| 5 | 25, 50 |
| 5 | 5, 10 |
| 1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 = 300

Least Common Multiple of 501,222 with GCF Formula
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 501,222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,222) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,222) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(501,222) = ( 501 × 222 ) / 3
LCM(501,222) = 111222 / 3
LCM(501,222) = 37074
