Maximum Length of an Antichain

Statement only · SolvedOriginal problem ↗

Let n be an integer and S(n) be the set of factors of n.

A subset A of S(n) is called an antichain of S(n) if A contains only one element or if none of the elements of A divides any of the other elements of A.

For example: S(30)={1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30}.
{2,5,6} is not an antichain of S(30).
{2,3,5} is an antichain of S(30).

Let N(n) be the maximum length of an antichain of S(n).

Find N(n) for 1n108.
