Project Euler > Problem 5 > Smallest multiple (Java Solution)

Problem:

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?


Solution:

232792560


Code:
The solution may include methods that will be found here: Library.java .

public interface EulerSolution{

public String run();

}
