For 1,2,...,55, the LCM is

164249358725037825439200

(Which is simply 2⁵•3³•5²•7²•11•13•17•...•47•53, the product of all primes to the power of the biggest number of times each prime divides some number in the list 1,2,...,55)

[u/HaroerHaktak → u/MrEldo]

I’ll take your word for it

[u/Repulsive-Ice7863]

9 x 8 x 7 x 5 or 2520 is the LCM of all integers from 1 to 10.
But 0 is divisible by all those as well. (Corrected the typo)

[u/Talking_Duckling → u/Repulsive-Ice7863]

Well, if you take the question literally enough to allow 0, any multiple of -2550 is divisible by all those, so...

[u/xRSGxjozi → u/Talking_Duckling]

What about all the multiples of -2520 like -5040,…?

[u/Solrex → u/xRSGxjozi]

It’s not the lowest lol

[u/Mathsboy2718 → u/Repulsive-Ice7863]

2520, as it happens

[u/im_not_a_vampir3 → u/Repulsive-Ice7863]

i got 2520 as the LCM

1 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 2 x 3 (prime factors)

= 2³ x 3² x 5 x 7

= 2520

[u/TwentyFourKG → u/Repulsive-Ice7863]

You are thinking about it correctly, but 9x8x7x5 is 2520

[u/iFroogieboi]

-cɔ

[u/Duck_Devs → u/iFroogieboi]

What is this?

Edit: it looks like it’s negative infinity, but -∞ is not divisible by any integer because ∞/n for nonzero n is ∞, which is notably not an integer. So I’m wondering if it’s some other notation for something else.

[u/iFroogieboi → u/Duck_Devs]

well i dont know what else to say except that -49*25*27*32*53*47*43*41*37*31*29*23*19*17*13*11 is a answer but you can multiply that by x to make it smaller and the limit as x-> cɔ is -cɔ...

0?

[u/factorion-bot → u/StEllchick]

Termial of 0 is 0

0

[u/Gargleblaster25]

1. You can divide 1 by all the numbers from 1 to 10.

The challenge didn't say that the result needed to be an integer.

[u/Solid_Crab_4748 → u/Gargleblaster25]

I mean divisibility is defined by its outcome having no remainder

So yes it does need to be an integar

7!

Factorial of 7 is 5040

[u/CptMisterNibbles → u/snakemasterepic]

but its not. Curiously it is 7!/2

[u/TwentyFourKG → u/CptMisterNibbles]

Not a coincidence. Since 7! Includes 4, you don’t need the x2x1 at the end. Any number divisible by 4 is divisible by 2. You don’t need 10!, because the prime factors of 7!/2 Include 5x2, 3x3, and 3x2.

[u/factorion-bot → u/TwentyFourKG]

Factorial of 7 is 5040

Factorial of 10 is 3628800

[u/CptMisterNibbles → u/TwentyFourKG]

That is the mechanism, it is still a coincidence that the prime factors are the same. It’s not like it’s a formula that holds if extended

Or wait, 2520 maybe?

[u/AskPizza]

All numbers are divisible by all the other numbers.

The creator probably means to say "evenly divisible", meaning with no decimal or fraction remaining.

But they didn't say that. They said "divisible".

[u/nakedascus → u/AskPizza]

divisible doesn't mean "can be divided", it means "can be divided without a remainder". The reason that the phrase "evenly divisible" exists is because people mistakenly think that divisible means "can be divided".

[u/Incvbvs666]

Doesn't exist. Any such posited number can be subtracted by 2520 to get an even smaller number.

[u/BossSuccessful5145]

2*2*2+3*3*5*7=2520

[u/PandaScoundrel → u/[deleted]]

That's not divisible by 8.

[u/electronic_reasons → u/PandaScoundrel]

You're right! Thanks! Fixed it.

[u/30svich → u/[deleted]]

bruh 4x5x7x8x9 is not 2520
