Note that:
- N is positive integer.
- The set also consists of positive integers.
- The set consists of different integers. (The thread suggested by @hardmath doesn't have this constraint.)
For example:
if $N = 4$, we can construct the set as ${4}$, and the product is 4.
if $N = 5$, we can construct the set of two elements ${2, 3}$, and their product is 6.
if $N = 7$, we can construct the set of two elements ${3, 4}$, and their product is 12.
if $N = 31$, the set is {2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8}.
How to solve this problem for a general $N$? And how can you prove the correctness of your solution?
