S is a subset of the divisors of 2024^2024 such that no number in S has its own multiple in S.
What is the largest possible value of |S|?
In my last comment I looked at triplets of the exponents. But actually the exponent on 2 is so large compared to 11 and 13 it is better to look at pairs of exponents for 11 and 13.
I will first illustrate with an example of 2024^3
2024^3 = 2^9 * 11^3 ^ 13^3
I can make a total of 16 distinct ordered pairs for the exponents of 11 and 13: (0,0) to (3,3). Sort them in order of their sums and we will have 7 total classes:
(0,0)
(0,1), (1,0)
(0,2), (1,1), (2,0)
(0,3), (1,2), (2,1), (3,0)
(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)
(2,3), (3,2)
(3,3)
Next I want to add the exponent for 2, and I will do so by putting the larger exponents for 2 with the smaller exponents for 11 and 13. Then the list looks like
(6,0,0)
(5,0,1), (5,1,0)
(4,0,2), (4,1,1), (4,2,0)
(3,0,3), (3,1,2), (3,2,1), (3,3,0)
(2,1,3), (2,2,2), (2,3,1)
(1,2,3), (1,3,2)
(0,3,3)
Then these sets of exponents now form a set of 16 factors of 2024^3 such that no one of them is a divisor of another.
It is impossible to make this set larger. Every possible pair of exponents for 11 and 13 is already present If I were to add any other factor, it must have a matching set of exponents for 11 and 13 which means that pair will be multiple of the one or the other by a factor of 2.
So then the answer for 2024^3 is 16, which is (3+1)^2
So now onto the problem as stated.
2024^2024 = 2^6072 * 11^2024 * 13^2024
Identical setup, just larger. Then the largest possible value of |S| for the problem as given is (2024+1)^2 = 4100625.
