The number 2013 is written on a blackboard. Two players participate, alternating in turns, in the next game. A movement consists in changing the number that is on the board for the difference of this number and one of its divisors. The player who writes a zero loses. Which of the two players can guarantee victory?

Let $a , b , c$ positive integers, coprime. For each whole number $n \ge 1$, we denote by $s ( n )$ the number of elements in the set $\{ a , b , c \}$ that divide $n$. We consider $k_1< k_2< k_3<...$ .the sequence of all positive integers that are divisible by some element of $\{ a , b , c \}$. Finally we define the characteristic sequence of $( a , b , c )$ like the succession $ s ( k_1) , s ( k_2) , s ( k_3) , .... $ . Prove that if the characteristic sequences of $( a , b , c )$ and $( a', b', c')$ are equal, then $a = a', b = b'$ and $c=c'$

Given any set $A = \{a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4\}$ of four distinct positive integers, we denote the sum $a_1 +a_2 +a_3 +a_4$ by $s_A$. Let $n_A$ denote the number of pairs $(i, j)$ with $1 \leq i < j \leq 4$ for which $a_i +a_j$ divides $s_A$.
