Team! I need your help!!

So... there is something a little crazy about what happens when I export images from LR and then load up on 365. For some time now I've noticed that the the number on my Exif - dpi data is a little crazy (ie its not a simple 300dpi for example..) and its driving me a little nutty.
So if some kind soul could refresh my memory and sizing on export that would be super! I'm aware that the dpi to printing rather than screen - but i'd still like to get it sorted.
So i just want a nice little 300dpi rather than what looks like a serial number.
X Resolution: 1229848654/5420030 dpi
Y Resolution: 3160388/3 dpi
Some examples of what my correct settings should be would be lovely.
thanks Brigette

For my exports from Lightroom that I am sending to 365 I check "resize to fit - Long Edge" under "image sizing" and then I set my pixels to 1,024 and resolution to 300. If I'm uploading to Flickr I double my pixels to 2048 as Flickr will show the larger file. Hope that helps!

I have been advised to set the resolution to 72 when putting images on the web because they look fine on a screen and are less use it anyone decided to pinch the image

@aecasey @sarahlth thanks team
Yes I am doing this and have changed between 72 and 300 depending on image
Makes no difference! Still get wired long number

I'm not sure this discussion will help, but here's some very comprehensive sizing information put together by the Sandbox group a few years ago: https://365project.org/discuss/general/26933/optimising-file-sizes-for-posting-to-365

@aecasey thanks April, it used to be fine so I just don’t know what’s happened
Outside of 365 I got some feedback from a LR expert who said the size was good but couldn’t explain the crazy dpi numbers 😣😕
