Erdős Problem #691

declared status 'open'. Formalized: no. Given $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ let $M_A=\{ n \geq 1 : a\mid n\textrm{ for some }a\in A\}$ be the set of multiples of $A$. Find a necessary and sufficient condition on $A$ for $M_A$ to have density $1$. Current best: For example suppose $A$ is the union of $(n_k,(1+\eta_k)n_k)\cap \mathbb{Z}$ where $1\leq n_1<n_2<\cdots$ is a lacunary sequence. Prize: no. Tags: number theory.
