Source: Use your common sense! (enough is enough)
Some users don't want to learn, some other simply ignore advises.
But please follow the following guideline:


To make it short: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!
If you don't have common sense, don't post.


More specifically:

For new threads:


a) Good, meaningful title:
The title has to say what the problem is about in best way possible.
If that title occured already, it's definitely bad. And contest names aren't good either.
That's in fact a requirement for being able to search old problems.

Examples:
Bad titles:
- "Hard"/"Medium"/"Easy" (if you find it so cool how hard/easy it is, tell it in the post and use a title that tells us the problem)
- "Number Theory" (hey guy, guess why this forum's named that way¿ and is it the only such problem on earth¿)
- "Fibonacci" (there are millions of Fibonacci problems out there, all posted and named the same...)
- "Chinese TST 2003" (does this say anything about the problem¿)
Good titles:
- "On divisors of a³+2b³+4c³-6abc"
- "Number of solutions to x²+y²=6z²"
- "Fibonacci numbers are never squares"


b) Use search function:
Before posting a "new" problem spend at least two, better five, minutes to look if this problem was posted before. If it was, don't repost it. If you have anything important to say on topic, post it in one of the older threads.
If the thread is locked cause of this, use search function.

Update (by Amir Hossein). The best way to search for two keywords in AoPS is to input
[code]+"first keyword" +"second keyword"[/code]
so that any post containing both strings "first word" and "second form".


c) Good problem statement:
Some recent really bad post was:
[quote]$lim_{n\to 1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{n}-lnn$[/quote]
It contains no question and no answer.
If you do this, too, you are on the best way to get your thread deleted. Write everything clearly, define where your variables come from (and define the "natural" numbers if used). Additionally read your post at least twice before submitting. After you sent it, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.


For answers to already existing threads:


d) Of any interest and with content:
Don't post things that are more trivial than completely obvious. For example, if the question is to solve $x^{3}+y^{3}=z^{3}$, do not answer with "$x=y=z=0$ is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like "$x=1337, y=481, z=42$ is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that $x=y=z=0$ is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
Similar, posting "I have solved this problem" but not posting anything else is not welcome; it even looks that you just want to show off what a genius you are.

e) Well written and checked answers:
Like c) for new threads, check your solutions at least twice for mistakes. And after sending, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.



To repeat it: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!


Everything definitely out of range of common sense will be locked or deleted (exept for new users having less than about 42 posts, they are newbies and need/get some time to learn).

The above rules will be applied from next monday (5. march of 2007).
Feel free to discuss on this here.

In a class, there are $n \geqslant 3$ students and a teacher with $M$ marbles. The teacher then play a Marble distribution according to the following rules. At the start, each student receives at least $1$ marbles from the teacher. Then, the teacher chooses a student , who has never been chosen before, such that the number of marbles that he owns in a multiple of $2(n-1)$. That chosen student then equally distribute half of his marbles to $n-1$ other students. The same goes on until the teacher is not able to choose anymore student.

Find all integer $M$, such that for some initial numbers of marbles that the students receive, the teacher can choose all the student(according to the rule above), so that each student receiving equal amount of marbles at the end.

IMO 2023 p1

We claim that the answer is $n=p^k$, where $p$ is a prime.

Let $p_1$ and $p_2$ be the first two primes of $n$. Now let $s$ be the largest number, such that $p_1^s < p_2$

So we have that
\[\frac{n}{p_2},\frac{n}{p_1^s},\frac{n}{p_1^{s-1}}\]are consecutive divisors of $n$.
Hence we must have that.
$$\frac{n}{p_2}|(\frac{n}{p_1^s}+\frac{n}{p_1^{s-1}}) \implies p_1^s|p_2(p_1+1)$$Which is a contradiction, hence $n$ has less than 2 primes.

I claim the answer is only prime powers. It is easy to see that these work. To see nothing else works, assume for the sake of contradiction some $n$ with more than $1$ prime power worked. Then take the second smallest prime divisor, let it be $q$, and the largest divisor less than it, $p^{k}$, where $k$ can be $1$. We would then have $\frac nq \mid \frac{n}{p^{k - 1}} + \frac{n}{p^k}$, which is obviously not true by taking $\nu_p$ on both sides, the left side has $\nu_p(\frac nq) = \nu_p(n)$, right hand side has $\nu_p({\frac{n}{p^{k - 1}} + \frac{n}{p^k}}) = \nu_p({\frac{n}{p^k}})$, so the left side cannot divide the right.

Trivial NT on the IMO. Finally found some time to actually post my solution from the contest.

We claim that the answer is all positive integers of the form $p^m$ for some prime $p$ and $m\ge 2$. These clearly all work since for all $1\le i \le m+1$ , $d_i=p^{i-1}$. Thus,
\[d_i=p_{i-1}\mid p_i + p_{i+1}=d_{i+1}+d_{i+2}\]quite clearly.

Now, we show that no other composite $n$ work. Say $n$ has atleast two distinct primes divisors, of which the smallest two are $p<q$. Note that we have $d_i = p^{i-1}$ for all $1\le i \le r$ for some $r \ge 2$ and $d_{r+1}=q$ as the divisors are arranged in increasing order. Now, if $n$ satisfies the desired condition we must have,
\begin{align*}
d_{m-r} &\mid d_{m-r+1} + d_{m-r+2}\\
\frac{n}{d_{r+1}} & \mid \frac{n}{d_r} + \frac{n}{d_{r-1}}\\
\frac{n}{q} & \mid \frac{n}{p^{r-1}} + \frac{n}{p^{r-2}}\\
p^{r-1} & \mid q + pq\\
p &\mid q+pq\\
p& \mid q
\end{align*}which is a very clear contradiction since $q>p$ are both primes. Thus, there are no such $n$ of this form, which finishes the proof.

Clear answer is n =p^c where p is a prime
Assume that n can have more than 1 prime factor and assume some prime q also divides n
Well you get that p|q contradiction.

All numbers of the form $p^l$ where $p$ is a prime and $l>1$ work evidently. We now show these are the only ones.
Let $m$ denote the number of divisors of $n$. Then we have $d_{i}d_{m+1-i}=n$. Thus,
$$d_{i} \mid d_{i+1}+d_{i+2}$$$$\implies \frac{n}{d_{m-i+1}} \mid \frac{n}{d_{m-i}}+\frac{n}{d_{m-i-1}}$$$$\implies d_{m-i}d_{m-i-1} \mid d_{m-i+1}(d_{m-i}+d_{m-i-1})$$$$\implies \boxed{d_{i}d_{i+1} \mid d_{i+2}(d_{i}+d_{i+1})}  [\because i \mapsto m-i-1]$$Now $i=1$ gives, $d_{1}d_{2} \mid d_{3}(d_{1}+d_{2}) \implies d_{2} \mid d_{3}$ since $d_{1}=1$. Also, $d_{2}$ is a prime number (say $p$). If $d_{3}$ has any prime factor $q$(say) other than $p$ then $d_{1}<q<d_{3};q \neq d_{2}$ which is a blatant contradiction. Thus $\boxed{d_{3}=p^{2}}$ as it can not be $p^e$ where $e \geq 3$ otherwise $d_{2} < p^{2} < d_{3}$ again, a contradiction. Now by an easy strong induction and similar argument we can conclude that $d_{i+1}=p^{i}$. Thus $n=p^{l}$ where $l>1$ and $p$ is a prime number. $\blacksquare$ ($\mathcal{QED}$)

Suppose $n$ has a prime divisors $\geq 2$.

Say the least ones are $p$ and $q$ and $p$ be the minimum.

Let the multiplicity of $p$ be $m$.

At the $(k+1)$-th step, $k \leq m$:

$p^{k-1} < q$, so $q$ can write

$p^{k-1} \mid p^k + q \quad ( \rightarrow \leftarrow)$.

Hence, $n = p^t$, $t \in \mathbb{N}$ and $p$ is prime.

Note that since $d_{k-2}\mid d_{k-1}+d_k$ and $d_{k-2}\mid n=d_k$, then $d_{k-2}\mid d_{k-1}$. Recall that $d_{k-2}=\frac{n}{d_3}$ and $d_{k-1}=\frac{n}{d_2}$, so $\frac{\frac{n}{d_2}}{\frac{n}{d_3}}\in\mathbb{N}\Longleftrightarrow\frac{d_3}{d_2}\in\mathbb{N}\Longleftrightarrow d_2\mid d_3$. But we also have $d_2\mid d_3+d_4$, so we must have $d_2\mid d_4\Longleftrightarrow\frac{\frac{n}{d_2}}{\frac{n}{d_4}}\in\mathbb{N}\Longleftrightarrow\frac{d_{k-1}}{d_{k-3}}\in\mathbb{N}\Longleftrightarrow d_{k-3}\mid d_{k-1}$. Again, we know that $d_{k-3}\mid d_{k-2}+d_{k-1}$ so we must have $d_{k-3}\mid d_{k-2}$. Repeating the process, eventually we'll end with $1=d_1\mid d_2\mid d_3\mid\dots\mid d_{k-1}\mid d_k=n$. Notice that for any natural number $n$, the three largest divisors of $n$ are $n,\frac{n}{p},\frac{n}{q}$ for prime $2\le p<q$ or $n,\frac{n}{p},\frac{n}{p^2}$ for prime $p\ge 2$. If the three largest divisors of $n$ are $n,\frac{n}{p},\frac{n}{q}$, then $\frac{\frac{n}{p}}{\frac{n}{q}}\in\mathbb{N}\Longleftrightarrow\frac{q}{p}\in\mathbb{Z}\Longleftrightarrow p\mid q$, contradiction. So the three largest divisors of $n$ are $n,\frac{n}{p},\frac{n}{p^2}$ for prime $p\ge 2$. In the similar spirit, we end up showing that $n=p_{k-1}$, which indeed works for any prime $p\ge 2$. Done. $\blacksquare$

The answer is $n=p^k$ for a prime number $p$ and a positive integer $k$. These clearly work, and we prove that all other $n$ fail. Assume the contrary, and let the smallest prime factors of $n$ be $a$ and $b$.

Case 1: $a < b < a^2$. Then we have the smallest three divisors are $1, a, b$, so the largest three are $\frac{n}{b}, \frac{n}{a}, n$. However, we need $$\frac{n+\frac{n}{a}}{\frac{n}{b}}=\frac{1+\frac{1}{a}}{\frac{1}{b}}=b+\frac{b}{a}$$to be an integer, but $b/a$ is clearly not an integer. There are no cases here.

Case 2: $a<a^2<\dots<a^k<b$ for $k>1$. We know that $$\frac{b+a^k}{a^{k-1}}=a+\frac{b}{a^{k-1}}$$must be an integer, but this is clearly impossible.

This concludes the problem.

Note: I almost messed up and disregarded Case 1.

I claim $n$ is a perfect power. Assume not. Let $p < q$ be the smallest two prime divisors of $n.$ Let $\frac nq,\frac n{p^c}$ be the two consecutive divisors. Hence, we get $\frac nq \mid \frac n{p^c} + \frac n{p^{c - 1}},$ so $p\mid p + q,$ or $p \mid q.$ All perfect powers work.

Let $p$ and $q$ be the smallest two prime factors of $n$. Then $\frac{n}{q} | n\frac{1+p}{p}$ so $\frac{q(p+1)}{p} \in \mathbb{Z}$. But that means $p | q$, impossible. So $n=p^k$ and only has 1 distinct prime factor. All $n$ of this form work for $k \ge 2$.

Let the smallest prime dividing $n$ be $p$
Then $d_{k-1} = \frac{n}{p}$
Which gives that $d_{k-2} \mid d_{k-1} + d_{k} = \frac{n}{p} + n = \frac{n}{p}(p+1)$

Now, we form cases:-
Case-1) $d_{k-2} \mid \frac{n}{p}$
implying that $d_{k-2} = \frac{n}{p^2}$ (easy to see why)

Case-2) $v_p (d_{k-2}) = v_p (n)$, or $d_{k-2}$ does not divide $n$
Which means that we need another prime $p$
Then this implies that $gcd(p, p+1) = p$

Which is absurd, therefore $d_{k-2} = \frac{n}{p^2}$
Reiterating this gives us that $d_1 = \frac{n}{p^{k-1}}$
or $n = p^{k-1}$, which works clearly

We claim $n$ of the form $p^{\alpha}$ with $p$ being a prime and $\alpha\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge 2}$ are the only solutions (easy to check why these work).
Now we shall show that these are the the only solutions. Suppose this is not true. Let $p,q$ be the smallest two distinct prime divisors of $n$ with $p<q$. Let $j$ be the largest integer such that $p^j\lvert n$ and $p^j<q$ (assume $j>1$ as the case $n=pq$ is trivial). One may notice that $d_j=p^{j-1}$, $d_{j+1}=p^j$ and $d_{j+2}=q$. By the given condition it must be that,
$$p^{j-1}\lvert (p^j+q).$$From the above we say $p^{j-1}\lvert q$, which is ridiculous and hence the claim. $\square$

\begin{align*}
d_{k-2} | d_{k-1}+d_k, d_{k-2} | d_k \implies d_{k-2} | d_{k-1} \implies d_2 | d_3. \\
d_2 | d_3, d_2 | d_3+d_4 \implies d_2 | d_4 \implies d_{k-3} | d_{k-1}. \\
d_{k-3} | d_{k-2}+d_{k-1} \implies d_{k-3} | d_{k-2}.
\end{align*}Hence applying this argument in general yields $d_{x} | d_{x+1} \implies d_{x-1} | d_x.$ So $d_1 | d_2 | d_3 | \cdots | d_{k-1} | d_k.$ So if some prime $p | n$ where $p$ is minimal we have $d_1=1, d_2=p \implies p | d_i \, \forall i \geq 2.$ So there is no other prime $q \neq p$ dividing $n.$

Hence $n=p^k$ for some prime $p$ and positive integer $k > 1.$ It is easy to see that this works.
