Maximum Size Set with No Fixed Differences
Problem Statement
Given three positive integers $n$, $x$, and $y$, we need to find the maximum size of a set $S$ satisfying:
$S \subseteq {1, 2, \ldots, n}$
For any $a \in S$ and $b \in S$, $|a - b| \neq x$ and $|a - b| \neq y$
Output the maximum possible cardinality of $S$.
Constraints: $1 \leq n \leq 10^9$, $1 \leq x, y \leq 22$
