Let $ (a_{n})_{n\ge 1}$ be a sequence of positive integers satisfying $ (a_{m},a_{n}) = a_{(m,n)}$ (for all $ m,n\in N^ +$). Prove that for any $ n\in N^ + ,\prod_{d|n}{a_{d}^{\mu (\frac {n}{d})}}$ is an integer. where $ d|n$ denotes $ d$ take all positive divisors of $ n.$ Function $ \mu (n)$ is defined as follows: if $ n$ can be divided by square of certain prime number, then $ \mu (1) = 1;\mu (n) = 0$; if $ n$ can be expressed as product of $ k$ different prime numbers, then $ \mu (n) = ( - 1)^k.$

Show that for any integer $n \ge 2$ the sum of the fractions $\frac{1}{ab}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers such that $a < b \le n$ and $a+b > n$, equals $\frac{1}{2}$. (Integers $a$ and $b$ are called relatively prime if the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$ is $1$.)

Let $S \subset \{ 1, \dots, n \}$ be a nonempty set, where $n$ is a positive integer. We denote by $s$ the greatest common divisor of the elements of the set $S$. We assume that $s \not= 1$ and let $d$ be its smallest divisor greater than $1$. Let $T \subset \{ 1, \dots, n \}$ be a set such that $S \subset T$ and $|T| \ge 1 + \left[ \frac{n}{d} \right]$. Prove that the greatest common divisor of the elements in $T$ is $1$. ----------- [Second Version] Let $n(n \ge 1)$ be a positive integer and $U = \{ 1, \dots, n \}$. Let $S$ be a nonempty subset of $U$ and let $d (d \not= 1)$ be the smallest common divisor of all elements of the set $S$. Find the smallest positive integer $k$ such that for any subset $T$ of $U$, consisting of $k$ elements, with $S \subset T$, the greatest common divisor of all elements of $T$ is equal to $1$.
Let $ a_0$, $ a_1$, $ a_2$, $ \ldots$ be a sequence of positive integers such that the greatest common divisor of any two consecutive terms is greater than the preceding term; in symbols, $ \gcd (a_i, a_{i \plus{} 1}) > a_{i \minus{} 1}$. Prove that $ a_n\ge 2^n$ for all $ n\ge 0$. [i]Proposed by Morteza Saghafian, Iran[/i]
