Problem Understanding

We are given an array of positive integers where every number is built only from a small fixed set of primes. In other words, each value is fully determined by how many times each of those given primes appears in its factorization.

For any non-empty subset of indices, we take the gcd of the corresponding elements. From that gcd value, we do not use it directly. Instead, we compress it by removing repeated prime powers and keeping only which primes appear at least once. This is the square-free part, meaning each prime contributes at most one copy regardless of exponent.

The task is to sum this square-free value over all non-empty subsets of indices, and output the result modulo $10^9 + 7$.

The input size forces a combinatorial view rather than explicit subset enumeration. With $n$ up to $10^5$, any approach that iterates over subsets or even processes all pairs or tuples of subsets directly is immediately infeasible because the number of subsets is $2^n$. Even $O(n^2)$ is too large. The only workable strategies are those that group subsets by some shared structural property, in this case their gcd structure in a restricted prime space.

A subtle edge case appears when all numbers are 1. The gcd of every subset is 1, and the square-free part of 1 is also 1. The answer is then simply $2^n - 1$, which a naive gcd enumeration would never compute correctly because it does not handle the empty gcd state consistently.

Another corner case is when some primes are irrelevant for a subset because no element in the subset contains them. Then those primes never appear in the gcd, so they contribute nothing to the square-free part. A naive “combine everything” approach that assumes each prime contributes independently to all subsets fails here because gcd selection is a filtering process, not an additive one.

Approaches

The brute-force idea is straightforward: enumerate every non-empty subset, compute its gcd, extract its square-free part, and add it to the answer. Computing a gcd over a subset of size $k$ costs $O(k)$, and there are $2^n$ subsets, so the total work is on the order of $O(n \cdot 2^n)$. Even for $n = 25$, this becomes borderline, and at $10^5$ it is completely impossible. The failure is not just inefficiency, it is structural, because subsets are being treated independently even though gcd values repeat massively.

The key observation is that gcd behavior depends only on which elements are present, but more importantly, for a fixed value $x$, the condition “a subset has gcd divisible by $x$” translates into a clean counting condition over indices whose values are multiples of $x$. This is the standard inversion point: instead of summing over subsets and deriving their gcd, we reverse perspective and group subsets by possible gcd values.

Since all numbers only use $m \le 20$ primes, each number can be represented as a bitmask of which primes appear in it. The square-free part of a gcd is exactly the bitwise AND of those masks over a subset. This turns the problem into: sum over all subsets of the AND of their masks.

Now the structure becomes clearer. Instead of tracking subsets explicitly, we count how many subsets produce each possible AND-result mask. For a fixed mask, we need to count subsets whose every element contains at least those primes. That becomes a standard subset-counting over filtered elements.

We compute for each mask the number of array elements that “contain” that mask, then every non-empty subset of those elements contributes that mask as a candidate gcd-mask only when their gcd does not lose any of those primes. The standard way to handle this is inclusion-exclusion over masks using SOS DP style counting over supersets, which is feasible because $2^m \le 2^{20}$.

Approach Time Complexity Space Complexity Verdict
Brute force subsets + gcd $O(n2^n)$ $O(1)$ Too slow
Bitmask + SOS DP over primes $O((n + 2^m)m)$ $O(2^m)$ Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

We encode each number as a bitmask over the $m$ primes.

  1. For each $a_i$, build a mask where bit $j$ is set if prime $p_j$ divides $a_i$. This mask is exactly the square-free representation of the number.
  2. Count how many times each mask appears in the array.
  3. Precompute for every mask how many array elements have a superset of that mask. This means the element contains all primes required by the mask. We compute this using a superset DP over bitmasks.
  4. For each mask, the number of non-empty subsets formed from valid elements is $2^{cnt[mask]} - 1$. These subsets have gcd-squarefree containing at least that mask, but overcounting happens across supersets.
  5. Use inclusion-exclusion over the lattice of masks (SOS DP in reverse) so that each subset is attributed exactly to its true gcd mask.
  6. Multiply each mask by the number of subsets assigned to it, and accumulate into the answer.

A key reason this works is that gcd in exponent space becomes a coordinate-wise minimum, and square-free projection converts that into a boolean AND over prime-presence vectors. That converts the entire problem into subset convolution over a boolean lattice.

Why it works

Every subset corresponds to a bitwise AND of its elements’ masks. For a fixed resulting mask $M$, a subset contributes to $M$ exactly when all its elements have at least the primes in $M$, and no element removes any of those primes during AND. The SOS DP ensures each subset is counted exactly once for the correct minimal resulting mask, avoiding overcounting across supersets.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

MOD = 10**9 + 7

def solve():
    n, m = map(int, input().split())
    primes = list(map(int, input().split()))
    a = list(map(int, input().split()))

    # map each number to bitmask of primes
    idx = {p:i for i,p in enumerate(primes)}

    cnt = [0] * (1 << m)

    for x in a:
        mask = 0
        for i, p in enumerate(primes):
            if x % p == 0:
                mask |= (1 << i)
        cnt[mask] += 1

    # superset DP: for each mask, compute how many elements have superset mask
    sup = cnt[:]
    for i in range(m):
        for mask in range(1 << m):
            if mask & (1 << i):
                sup[mask ^ (1 << i)] += sup[mask]

    # f[mask] = number of non-empty subsets whose gcd mask is exactly mask
    f = [0] * (1 << m)

    for mask in range(1 << m):
        if sup[mask]:
            f[mask] = (pow(2, sup[mask], MOD) - 1) % MOD

    # inclusion-exclusion (zeta inversion over subset lattice)
    for i in range(m):
        for mask in range(1 << m):
            if mask & (1 << i):
                f[mask ^ (1 << i)] = (f[mask ^ (1 << i)] - f[mask]) % MOD

    ans = 0
    for mask in range(1 << m):
        # square-free value = product of primes in mask
        val = 1
        for i in range(m):
            if mask & (1 << i):
                val = (val * primes[i]) % MOD
        ans = (ans + val * f[mask]) % MOD

    print(ans % MOD)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The implementation splits naturally into three phases: encoding numbers into masks, computing how many subsets can realize each mask as a lower bound on gcd support, and then correcting overcounting through subset DP inversion. The most delicate part is ensuring that subset counting is done before inversion, since inversion assumes additive contributions over the boolean lattice.

A common implementation pitfall is confusing “superset of primes in number” with “subset mask relation,” which flips DP direction. Another is forgetting that subset counts require $2^k - 1$, not $2^k$, since empty subset is excluded.

Worked Examples

Consider a small input with primes $2, 3$:

Input:

3 2
2 3
2 6 3

Here masks are:

2 → 10, 6 → 11, 3 → 01

We build counts:

mask cnt
00 0
01 1
10 1
11 1

After superset DP, each mask sees how many elements contain it.

mask superset count
00 3
01 2
10 2
11 1

Now subset contributions:

mask subsets
00 7
01 3
10 3
11 1

After inversion, each subset is assigned to its exact gcd-mask.

This trace shows how subsets are first overcounted into broad compatibility buckets and then cleanly separated into exact gcd outcomes.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time $O(nm + m2^m)$ mask building plus SOS DP over $2^m$ states
Space $O(2^m)$ frequency and DP arrays over masks

Since $m \le 20$, $2^m \approx 10^6$, which is acceptable in Python with tight loops and integer operations under a 1-2 second limit.

Edge Cases

When every number is 1, every subset has gcd 1, and the square-free part is also 1. The algorithm handles this because only mask 0 has non-zero frequency, and all subsets collapse into that state, producing $2^n - 1$ after subset counting.

When all numbers share a single prime, every mask except that prime is zero, so all subsets contribute that same mask. The superset DP aggregates all elements correctly, and inversion leaves only one active mask.

When masks are all distinct single-prime values, each subset’s gcd is determined entirely by intersection behavior. The SOS DP ensures that only subsets whose intersection remains that single prime are assigned to it, while mixed subsets fall into mask 0.
