[sdiy] Prom generating TOS like MK50240 bits..

[Tom Wiltshire]

Thinking about it more, though, it's the least common *multiple* which is crucial, not the factors.

Using the prime numbers method on this page (http://www.helpwithfractions.com/least-common-multiple.html ) gives us:

Prime factors
239 = 239
253 = 11x23
268 = 2x2x67
284 = 2x2x71
301 = 7x43
319 = 11x29
338 = 2 × 13 x 13
358 = 2 × 179
379 = 379
402 = 2 × 3 × 67
426 = 2 × 3 × 71
451 = 11 × 41
478 = 2 × 239

Largest counts:
of 2s: 2
of 3s: 1
of 7s: 1
of 11s: 1
of 13s: 2
of 23s: 1
of 29s: 1
of 41s: 1
of 43s: 1
of 67s: 1
of 71s: 1
of 179s: 1
of 239s: 1
of 379s: 1

Multiply all these, Least Common Multiple = 1.4163158499841E+22

Still very big, but we're under a yottabyte this time!
