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.$

Determine if there is a set $S$ of 2011 positive integers so that for every pair $m,n$ of distinct elements of $S$, $|m-n|=(m,n)$. Here $(m,n)$ denotes the greatest common divisor of $m$ and $n$.
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 $1$.
