Q1 . Compute the sum of all positive integers (n) for which lcm(1,2...n) can be written as the product of 10 distinct pairwise coprime positive integers , each less than or equal to (n). S1. For e.g. consider a smaller problem where we need to find 4 distinct pairwise coprime factors. For n = 5, LCM(1,2,3,4,5) = 60. 60 = 1.2^2.3^1.5^1 So the factors are 1,3,4,5 Each pair is co prime. Each factor is less than 60. So we need first 9 primes and 1 or first 10 primes to solve this. 2,3,5,7, 11,13,17,19 23,29 are the first 10 primes. LCM(1,2... 23) = 1. 2^4. 3^2. 5^2. 7. 11. 13. 17. 19. 23 We can see the 10 factors each pairwise co prime and <= 23 Same will happen for 24,25,26,27,28. For 29,30 we will remove 1 to get exactly 10 factors. That's the last. From 31 we will have at least 11 such factors. Answer = 23 + 24... 30 = 212 Q2. S2.
