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?
#initialize variables
x = 1
#function to check if number is evenly divisible by numbers from 1 to 20
def check_d(x):
for i in range(1,20):
if x % i != 0:
return False
return True
#while statement to iterate through all whole numbers until check_d returns True
while not check_d(x):
x = x + 1
print(x)
That was pretty straightforward!
