you want the lowest common denominator for the numbers 2 - 10.
break up all these numbers into their prime factors:
2 = 2...................
3 = 3
4 = 2 x 2
5 = 5
6 = 2 x 3
7 = 7
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
9 = 3 x 3
10 = 2 x 5
Next make a set that will contain each of the prime factors in the maximum number of times they appear for any of the numbers. For example you will need three 2's:
[ 2,2,2,3,3,5,7 ] With this set of factors we can recreate any of the numbers from 2 to 10. Multiply all of these factors to get the lowest common denominator.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 2,520
2,520 is the smallest number that is a divisible by the numbers 2 - 10

You want the least common multiple of 2,3,... and 10.
That works out to 9*8*7*5 or 2520. That's
the smallest number divisible by all numbers between 2-10.

362880...all those numbers can be divided into this.
362880/2=181440
362880/3=120960
362880/4=90720
362880/5=72576
362880/6=60480
362880/7=51840
362880/8=45360
362880/9=40320
362880/10=36288
