Two turtles, the leader and the slave, are crawling along the plane from point $A$ to point $B$.

Then the leader crawls somewhere again, after which the slave crawls towards the leader, etc. Finally, they both crawl to $B$. Prove that the slave turtle crawled no more than the leading one.

Let $n>1$ be a positive integer and $d_1<d_2<\dots<d_m$ be its $m$ positive divisors, including $1$ and $n$. Lalo writes the following $2m$ numbers on a board: \[d_1,d_2\dots, d_m,d_1+d_2,d_2+d_3,\dots,d_{m-1}+d_m,N \] where $N$ is a positive integer. Afterwards, Lalo erases any number that is repeated (for example, if a number appears twice, he erases one of them). Finally, Lalo realizes that the numbers left on the board are exactly all the divisors of $N$. Find all possible values that $n$ can take.
