2520 The smallest number is known as the Lowest Common Multiple or LCM. LCM is equal to the product of every prime numbers with the largest exponent that describe the factors. In this case: 1 = 1^1, 2 = 2^1, 3 = 3^1, 4 = 2^2, 5 = 5^1, 6 = 2^1 AND 3^1, 7 = 7^1, 8 = 2^3, 9 = 3^2, 10 = 5^1 AND 2^1. Remember only the primes with the biggest exponent are used. 1^1 x 2^3 x 3^2 x 5^1 x 7^1 = 2520 So you see, primes are useful!
