A set of natural numbers is called [i]good[/i], if for each element does not divide the sum of the remaining numbers in . Find the maximal possible number of elements of a [i]good [/i]set which is a subset of the set .
Problem 1352
Official solution
1. Define the problem and notation:
We are given a set and need to find the maximal possible number of elements in a subset such that is a *good* set. A set is called *good* if for each element , does not divide the sum of the remaining numbers in .
2. **Sum of elements in :**
Let denote the sum of all elements in the set . For to be good, we need for all . This is equivalent to for all .
3. Exclusion of 1:
Since divides any integer, cannot be in . Therefore, .
4. **Upper bound on the size of :**
Consider the set . The sum of this set is:
We need to ensure that no element divides 2015.
5. Prime factorization of 2015:
Therefore, cannot contain 5, 13, or 31.
6. Constructing a good set:
We can construct a good set by excluding 1, 5, 13, and 31 from . This gives us:
This set has elements.
7. Verification:
We need to verify that no element in this set divides the sum of the set. The sum of the set is:
We need to check that no element divides 1966. Since 1966 is not divisible by any of the elements in , the set is indeed a good set.
The final answer is .
