Re: get the number

In what order?  For divison, that matters.

Re: get the number

2521.

To find the Least Common Multiple of two or more numbers, first get the prime factors of each of the numbers.

2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 2 ** 2 (2 raised to the 2nd power)
5 = 5
6 = 2 * 3
7 = 7
8 = 2 ** 3 (2 raised to the 3rd power)
9 = 3 ** 3 (3 raised to the 2nd power)

Then look at each of the prime factors (2, 3, 5, and 7) and determine the highest "power" for each one.   For 2, it's 3 (8 is 2 to the 3rd power).   For 3, it's 2 (9 is 3 to the 2nd power).   For 5 and 7, it's one.    Now multiple all of these together.   (2**3) * (3**2) * 5 * 7 = 2520.  You want to have a remainder of 1, so add one to it.   

2521 / 2 = 1260 with Remainer of 1
2521 / 3 = 840 R1
2521 / 4 = 630 R1
2521 / 5 = 504 R1
2521 / 6 = 420 R1
2521 / 7 = 360 R1
2521 / 8 = 315 R1
2521 / 9 = 280 R1
2521 / 10 = 252 R1

Re: get the number

2520 is found on an Ancient Egyptian temple. Archaeologists infer that Ancient Egyptians were so good at math!
for 2520 can divide 1 to 10 and is the smallest natural number who could do this.
