Problem Statement

Prove that there are no positive integers a1,a2,,a2021a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_{2021} (not necessarily distinct) such that for k=1,2,3,,2021k = 1, 2, 3, \ldots , 2021 the number of elements in the set Ak={jN:1j2021 and ajk}A_k = \{ j \in \mathbb{N} : 1 \le j \le 2021 \text{ and } a_j|k \} be exactly aka_k.
