Let $a_1,b_1,c_1$ be natural numbers. We define \[a_2=\gcd(b_1,c_1),\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,b_2=\gcd(c_1,a_1),\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,c_2=\gcd(a_1,b_1),\] and \[a_3=\operatorname{lcm}(b_2,c_2),\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,b_3=\operatorname{lcm}(c_2,a_2),\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,c_3=\operatorname{lcm}(a_2,b_2).\] Show that $\gcd(b_3,c_3)=a_2$.

Given positive integer $n$ and $r$ pairwise distinct primes $p_1,p_2,\cdots,p_r.$ Initially, there are $(n+1)^r$ numbers written on the blackboard: $p_1^{i_1}p_2^{i_2}\cdots p_r^{i_r} (0 \le i_1,i_2,\cdots,i_r \le n).$
Alice and Bob play a game by making a move by turns, with Alice going first. In Alice's round, she erases two numbers $a,b$ (not necessarily different) and write $\gcd(a,b)$. In Bob's round, he erases two numbers $a,b$ (not necessarily different) and write $\mathrm{lcm} (a,b)$. The game ends when only one number remains on the blackboard.
Determine the minimal possible $M$ such that Alice could guarantee the remaining number no greater than $M$, regardless of Bob's move.

Some books are placed on each other. Someone first, reverses the upper book. Then he reverses the $2$ upper books. Then he reverses the $3$ upper books and continues like this. After he reversed all the books, he starts this operation from the first. Prove that after finite number of movements, the books become exactly like their initial configuration.

A set $S$ of positive integers is said to be [i]channeler[/i] if for any three distinct numbers $a,b,c \in S$, we have $a\mid bc$, $b\mid ca$, $c\mid ab$.

Let $S$ be the set of integers which are both a multiple of $70$ and a factor of $630{,}000$. A random element $c$ of $S$ is selected. If the probability that there exists an integer $d$ with $\gcd (c,d) = 70$ and $\operatorname{lcm} (c,d) = 630{,}000$ is $\frac mn$ for some relatively prime integers $m$ and $n$, compute $100m+n$.

Start with a finite sequence $ a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$ of positive integers. If possible, choose two indices $ j < k$ such that $ a_j$ does not divide $ a_k$ and replace $ a_j$ and $ a_k$ by $ \gcd(a_j,a_k)$ and $ \text{lcm}\,(a_j,a_k),$ respectively. Prove that if this process is repeated, it must eventually stop and the final sequence does not depend on the choices made. (Note: $ \gcd$ means greatest common divisor and lcm means least common multiple.)
For any positive integers $n$ and $k$, let $L(n,k)$ be the least common multiple of the $k$ consecutive integers $n,n+1,\ldots ,n+k-1$. Show that for any integer $b$, there exist integers $n$ and $k$ such that $L(n,k)>bL(n+1,k)$.
Numbers $1$ through $2014$ are written on a board. A valid operation is to erase two numbers $a$ and $b$ on the board and replace them with the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of $a$ and $b$.

Consider a directed graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, where $1$-cycles and $2$-cycles are permitted. For any set $S$ of vertices, let $N^{+}(S)$ denote the out-neighborhood of $S$ (i.e. set of successors of $S$), and define $(N^{+})^k(S)=N^{+}((N^{+})^{k-1}(S))$ for $k\ge2$.
For fixed $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the maximum possible number of distinct sets of vertices in $\{(N^{+})^k(X)\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$, where $X$ is some subset of $V(G)$. Show that there exists $n>2012$ such that $f(n)<1.0001^n$.
