First thing i do is figure out what the number has to look like
It has to end in a 5 or 0 to be divisible by 5
All the digits in that number when added together will have to equal 3,6, or 9 to be divisible by 3 since 9 and 6 are divisible by 3.
The first easiest number to find is just multiplying 8 5 7 9 6 together to get 15120 but thats not the lowest common multiple.
I simply started with 5 and 7 as they are prime and have to be multiplied together
9 is made up of two prime numbers 3 and 3
8 is made up of three prime numbers 2, 2, and 2
6 is made up of 2 and 3
Since 2 and 3 is already made up in 8 and 9 i decided to take that out of the line
8x5x7x9=2520
2520/6=420
All five numbers are divisible in 2520.
Thats my deduction theres prob a better formula or way to do it but this is how i doit.
