Re: get the number
In what order? For divison, that matters.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."

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.
