Which of the following is the lowest positive integer that is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9?
A) 15,120
B) 3,024
C) 2,520
D) 1,890
E) 1,680
[spoiler]OA: C ... I got 5040 as an answer, in this case you will get 2^7, so I treated each "matched set" of 2's as one, and for LCM also multiply against the unmatched, so 2^6 becomes just 2 x 2 x2, and then 1 unmatched 2, ... so 2^4 x 3^2 x 5 x 7 ?[/spoiler]
