-
We need all ordered pairs such that where
-
Solve the relation condition. Since , we must have divisible by and divisible by . Let for some positive integer .
Because , The stricter condition is So the pairs in are Hence,
- Now must be a symmetric relation containing . A relation is symmetric if whenever , then also.
So for every pair , we must also include
- Check whether any pair in is already symmetric by itself, i.e. of the form . That would require which is not allowed since . So no pair in is of the form .
Also, for all . Thus each pair in contributes one new distinct reverse pair.
-
Therefore the smallest symmetric relation containing is and since ,
-
Hence the minimum value of is
