The sum of 23 numbers is 1000 so the numbers can be 12 numbers 77 and 76, so the LCM>=77.
the LCM is lower if 13th number is a factor of 12 numbers (which are same)
let us look at factors of 1000. and one factor is minumum 13.
we have 50 * 20. 7 numbers can be 100 and 6 can be 50 giving LCM = 100
40 * 25, 12 numbers 80 and one number 40 giving LCM = 80
25 * 40 12 numbers can be 75 but 13th number is 100 LCM = 300
20 * 50 12 numbers 80 and one number 40 giving LCM = 80
So lowest LCM = 80 (12 numbers 80 and one number 40)
