প্রশ্নটা এরকম ছিল না ।
সর্বোচ্চ কত গুলো ভিন্ন ভিন্ন সংখ্যার লসাগু 240 হতে পারে ?
Find the maximum number of the different integers that the lcm of them is 240?
সমাধান একই কিন্তু উপস্থাপনটা আলাদা ।

(Not from Junior) but I want to say that 14 is not correct.
$240 = 2^4 \times 3 \times 5$
+1 their power and multiply. It will give you the number of factors as well as the answer of actual question.
$(4+1)(1+1)(1+1)=20$

আসলে প্রশ্নটা কি আছিল মনে নাই। শুধু ধারণাটা ছিল। তার ওপর ভিত্তি করেই ques টা করেছি।

Agree with Fahim vai. The prime factorization of $240$ is:
$240 = 2^4 \times 3 \times 5$
The power of $2,3,4$ is $4,1,1$ respectively.But we have to add $+1$ with (as the power $0$ is also included) the powers.And then we got $(4+1)(1+1)(1+1)=20$.
So,$20$ is correct ans.
