I can only think about a bit faster version:   46555ms => 23846ms for 20

(defn smallest-multiple-of-1-to-n
 [n]
  (let [divisors (range 2 (inc n))]
   (loop [i n]
     (if (loop [d 2]
        (cond (> d n) true
              (not= 0 (mod i d)) false
              :else (recur (inc d))))
     i
     (recur (inc i))))))


I am not familiar with how Clojure's numeric works.  There should be a 
faster way of doing it in Clojure.
