Python solution to project euler problem 5 from here https://projecteuler.net/problem=5

This one requires a bit more mathematical understanding. Here we find the prime factors of all numbers from 2 to 20. We then take the frequency count of each of those primes and keep the highest frequency count. For instance the number 16 has 2 as its prime factor, and that 2 occurs 4 times. So the frequency count for it would be 4. Likewise the frequency count for 3 would be 2 (3*3 = 9) And the other primes of 5,7,11,13,17 that are less than 20 all appear once.

So the solution ends up being 2^4 * 3^2 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 17
