Problem Statement

Let a,b,c,da,b,c,d be positive integers such that adbcad \neq bc and gcd(a,b,c,d)=1gcd(a,b,c,d)=1. Let SS be the set of values attained by gcd(an+b,cn+d)\gcd(an+b,cn+d) as nn runs through the positive integers. Show that SS is the set of all positive divisors of some positive integer.
