Find all positive integers such that there exists a unique integer such that with the following property:
*
Let us consider the problem of finding all positive integers for which there exists a unique integer such that and
### Step-by-step Solution:
1. Understand the Divisibility Condition:
We require that , meaning:
2. Explore Special Cases and General Patterns:
**Case :**
- For , we seek , so .
- Then, , which holds.
Hence, is a solution.
**Case is a Prime:**
- Let be a prime number.
- Wilson's Theorem states , implying for , we have:
- We need .
- Notice if , implies:
- Unique exists and satisfies the conditions for primes.
Thus, all prime numbers also satisfy the condition as they create a unique choice for .
3. Check if Further Conditions Can Be Satisfied:
- For composite , any less than that works has non-uniqueness due to additional factors canceling divisors.
4. Conclusion:
By examining divisibility and uniqueness conditions, we find that:
These are the solutions where a unique can be found satisfying the given condition.
