Prove the following statement:
In any set of 26 integers chosen from the set of (1,2,3, ...50) there must be at least a pair of numbers such that one of them divides the other.
Generalize.
Why 26 integers?
Assume there were 25 integers; then those from 26-50 could be chosen, none of which divides another. As to the 26th number, any integer chosen from 1-25, must have its multiple by two in those from 26-50.
