The smallest number divisible by all numbers from 1 to 10 is 2520.
This number is also known as the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the numbers 1 through 10. To find it, we need to consider the prime factorization of each number:
- 1 = 1
- 2 = 2
- 3 = 3
- 4 = 2 x 2 = 22
- 5 = 5
- 6 = 2 x 3
- 7 = 7
- 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 23
- 9 = 3 x 3 = 32
- 10 = 2 x 5
To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime number that appears in any of the factorizations:
- 23 = 8
- 32 = 9
- 5 = 5
- 7 = 7
Then, we multiply these together:
8 x 9 x 5 x 7 = 2520
Therefore, 2520 is the smallest number that is perfectly divisible by all numbers from 1 to 10.
