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?
就是找出1....20 所有数的最小公倍数。

最简单的就是从1,20两两求最小公倍数。
这里有一个公式:
lcm(1...n) == lcm([n/2]+1,n),[]是向上取整
我自己举了好多例子,在[n/2]+1...n之间的数,总能用(1...[n/2])里的数相乘得到,所以lcm(1...n)==lcm([n/2]+1,n)
说是:对于 1 至 之间的每个数
a,在
至
n 之间刚好可以找到一个数 b,使得 2ka
= b 。
我的python代码如下:
#lcm(1...n) == lcm([n/2]+1...n)
def gcd(a,b):
#a>b
while b:
r = a % b
a = b
b = r
return a
def lcm(a,b):
return a/gcd(a,b)*b
N = 20
x = N/2+1
for y in range(N/2+2,N+1):
x = lcm(x,y)
print x原文:http://blog.csdn.net/hackingwu/article/details/26564549
