Problem 2: Suppose a1β,β¦,anβ are integers whose greatest common divisor is 1 . Let S be a set of integers with the following properties.
- For i=1,β¦,n,aiββS.
- For i,j=1,β¦,n (not necessarily distinct), aiββajββS.
- For any integers x,yβS, if x+yβS, then xβyβS.
Prove that S must be equal to the set of all integers.
