    		Yup. 455.
    5,7 and 13 are all prime, so the smallest number divisible by all three is their product, 5x7x13.

    Poor old thirteen is a much maligned number. Shunned by the superstitious, feared by the triskaidekaphobic and rued as the beginning of the pimple ridden teenage years. I'd like to change all that with a quiz written especially for number thirteen.
