Call the number we are looking for N. In order not be relatively prime to 4, 8, 16... N should be a multiple of 2. In order to not be relatively prime to 9, 81, ... N should be a multiple of 3.
Continuing this way, we'd like N to be a multiple of 5. We're now up to 2 * 3 * 5 = 30 (or multiples of 30). Can we add 7 to the product? That gives us 210? Oops, now we've got 11 * 11 = 121 which is relatively prime to 230, but is NOT prime itself.
Can we use 60? No, because 7 * 7 = 49 is NOT prime. So the best we can do seems to be 3 0
