Hello All,
Sorry for the earlier mail without subject. I was in a hurry so I missed that
I am solving problem number 5 in project euler. I think my solution seems
logically correct but it is not giving an answer as it is taking too long to
execute. So can someone suggest an alternative solution? Here is my source code:
import sys
def check(num):
lis=[20,19,18,17,16,14,13,11] #because a no. divisible by 20 is divisible by
2,4,5 and so on for the values omitted
for i in lis:
if num%i==0:
continue
else:
return False
break
return True
def main():
num=2520 # Because we can start from the no. divisible by 1-10
while not check(num):
print(num)
num+=2 # Because num has to be even
print(num)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
