Problem Statement
Let be a finite set of positive integers, satisfying the following conditions:
1. For any two elements of , their greatest common divisor and their least common multiple are also elements of .
2. For any element of , there exists an element of such that and are relatively prime, and their least common multiple is the largest number in . For each such set , denote by its number of elements. It is known that ; find the largest value may take.
