Problem 5
2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers from 1 to 10 without any remainder.
What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20?
Solution (Python)
check = range(10,21)
a = 21
b = False
while b == False:
if a % 2520 == 0:
if all(a % n ==0 for n in check):
b = True
else:
a = a + 2520
else:
a = a + 1
print(a)
Solution (Javascript)
var from = 1,
target = 20,
primes = {},
result = 1;
for (var divider = from; divider <= target; divider++) {
(function (newTarget) {
var i = 2,
dividersPrimes = {};
while (i <= newTarget) {
while (newTarget % i === 0) {
newTarget = newTarget / i;
if (!dividersPrimes[i]) {
dividersPrimes[i] = 1;
} else {
dividersPrimes[i]++;
}
}
i++;
}
for (var prime in dividersPrimes) {
if (dividersPrimes.hasOwnProperty(prime) &&
(!primes[prime] ||
primes[prime] < dividersPrimes[prime])) {
primes[prime] = dividersPrimes[prime];
}
}
})(divider)
}
for (var prime in primes) {
if (primes.hasOwnProperty(prime)) {
result = result * Math.pow(prime, primes[prime])
}
}
console.log(result);
Result = 232792560
