Sergio thinks of a positive integer $S$, less than or equal to $100$. Iván must guess the number that Sergio thought of, using the following procedure: in each step, he chooses two positive integers $A$ and $B$ less than $100$, and asks Sergio what is the greatest common factor between $A+ S$ and $B$. Give a sequence of seven steps that ensures Iván guesses the number $S$ that Sergio thought of. Clarification:In each step, Sergio correctly answers Iván's question.
