Oliver Eyton-Williams ee1e8abd87 feat(curriculum): restore seed + solution to Chinese (#40683)
* feat(tools): add seed/solution restore script

* chore(curriculum): remove empty sections' markers

* chore(curriculum): add seed + solution to Chinese

* chore: remove old formatter

* fix: update getChallenges

parse translated challenges separately, without reference to the source

* chore(curriculum): add dashedName to English

* chore(curriculum): add dashedName to Chinese

* refactor: remove unused challenge property 'name'

* fix: relax dashedName requirement

* fix: stray tag

Remove stray `pre` tag from challenge file.

# --description--
2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers from 1 to 10 without any remainder.
What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to `n`?
# --hints--
`smallestMult(5)` should return a number.
```js
assert(typeof smallestMult(5) === 'number');
```
`smallestMult(5)` should return 60.
```js
assert.strictEqual(smallestMult(5), 60);
```
`smallestMult(7)` should return 420.
```js
assert.strictEqual(smallestMult(7), 420);
```
`smallestMult(10)` should return 2520.
```js
assert.strictEqual(smallestMult(10), 2520);
```
`smallestMult(13)` should return 360360.
```js
assert.strictEqual(smallestMult(13), 360360);
```
`smallestMult(20)` should return 232792560.
```js
assert.strictEqual(smallestMult(20), 232792560);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function smallestMult(n) {
return true;
}
smallestMult(20);
```
# --solutions--
```js
function smallestMult(n){
function gcd(a, b) {
return b === 0 ? a : gcd(b, a%b); // Euclidean algorithm
}
function lcm(a, b) {
return a * b / gcd(a, b);
}
var result = 1;
for(var i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
result = lcm(result, i);
}
return result;
}
```
