An infinite set BB consisting of positive integers has the following property. For each a,b∈Ba, b \in B with a>ba>b the number a−b(a,b)\frac{a-b}{(a, b)} belongs to BB. Prove that BB contains all positive integers. Here (a,b)(a, b) is the greatest common divisor of numbers aa and bb.

If dd is g.c.d. of all the numbers in set BB, let A={b/d:b∈B}A=\{b / d: b \in B\}. Then for each a,b∈A(a>b)a, b \in A(a>b) we have

a−bd(a,b)∈A\frac{a-b}{d(a, b)} \in A

Observe that g.c.d of the set AA equals 1 , therefore we can find a finite subset A1∈AA_{1} \in A for which the gcd⁡A1=1\operatorname{gcd} A_{1}=1. We may think that the sum of elements of A1A_{1} is minimal possible. Choose numbers a,b∈A1(a>b)a, b \in A_{1}(a>b) and replace aa in the set A1A_{1} with a−bd(a,b)\frac{a-b}{d(a, b)}. The g.c.d. of the obtained set equals 1 . But the sum of numbers decreases by this operations that contradicts minimality of A1A_{1}.

Thus, A1={1}A_{1}=\{1\}. Therefore all the numbers in the set AA have residue 1 modulo dd. Take an arbitrary a=kd+1∈Aa=k d+1 \in A and b=1b=1. Then k∈Ak \in A by (∗)(*) and hence k=ds+1k=d s+1. But (k,kd+1)=1(k, k d+1)=1, therefore kd+1−ds−1d=k−s=(d−1)s+1∈A\frac{k d+1-d s-1}{d}=k-s=(d-1) s+1 \in A, so ss is divisible by dd. But s∈As \in A, therefore s−1s-1 is also divisible by dd, hence d=1d=1 (that means that B=AB=A ). Thus we have checked that if a=kd+1=k+1∈Aa=k d+1=k+1 \in A then a−1=k∈Aa-1=k \in A. Then all non-negative integers belong to AA because it is infinite.
