Closing it through its holes
Closable through its holes: once they are proved, a proof of this statement may name their theorems. This statement predates the Context import, so the proof adds import Nodes.«erdos-402».Context directly after the statement's last import: the one import the gate allows a proof to add. A direct proof is accepted at any time.

Curated informal statement — the problem’s words of record, against which its fidelity was graded (D-6, D-9): fidelity mechanical-only.
Prove that, for any finite set $A\subset\mathbb{N}$, there exist $a, b\in A$ such that $$ \gcd(a, b)\leq a/|A|. $$

What is claimed
$\displaystyle 0 \notin A,\ A \ne \emptyset,\ \gcd(A) = 1,\ \bigl(\forall a, b \in A\ \exists\, u, v:\ 0 < u \le |A|,\ 0 < v \le |A|,\ \gcd(u,v) = 1,\ a v = b u\bigr) \Rightarrow \exists\, a, b \in A:\ \gcd(a,b) \le \frac{a}{|A|}$
Assuming the Farey-structure claim as a hypothesis (for every finite A ⊂ ℕ with 0 ∉ A and every m, a ≤ m·gcd(a, b) for all a, b ∈ A implies that each pair has a·v = b·u for some coprime u, v with 1 ≤ u, v ≤ m) and the reduction to primitive sets as a hypothesis (for every finite nonempty A ⊂ ℕ with 0 ∉ A, the bound for every B of the same size with gcd(B) = 1 gives the bound for A): every finite nonempty A ⊂ ℕ with 0 ∉ A whose elements have greatest common divisor 1, and in which every pair a, b satisfies a·v = b·u for some coprime u, v with 1 ≤ u, v ≤ |A|, contains a pair with gcd(a, b) ≤ a/|A|. The division is in ℚ, and a and b may coincide.

Closing it through its holes
Closable through its holes: once they are proved, a proof of this statement may name their theorems. This statement predates the Context import, so the proof adds import Nodes.«erdos-402--h3-v2».Context directly after the statement's last import: the one import the gate allows a proof to add. A direct proof is accepted at any time.

$\displaystyle 0 \notin A,\ A \ne \emptyset,\ \gcd(A) = 1,\ \bigl(\forall a, b \in A\ \exists\, u, v:\ 0 < u \le |A|,\ 0 < v \le |A|,\ \gcd(u,v) = 1,\ a v = b u\bigr) \Rightarrow \exists\, a, b \in A:\ \gcd(a,b) \le \frac{a}{|A|}$
Assuming the Farey-structure claim as a hypothesis (for every finite A ⊂ ℕ with 0 ∉ A and every m, a ≤ m·gcd(a, b) for all a, b ∈ A implies that each pair has a·v = b·u for some coprime u, v with 1 ≤ u, v ≤ m) and the reduction to primitive sets as a hypothesis (for every finite nonempty A ⊂ ℕ with 0 ∉ A, the bound for every B of the same size with gcd(B) = 1 gives the bound for A): every finite nonempty A ⊂ ℕ with 0 ∉ A whose elements have greatest common divisor 1, and in which every pair a, b satisfies a·v = b·u for some coprime u, v with 1 ≤ u, v ≤ |A|, contains a pair with gcd(a, b) ≤ a/|A|. The division is in ℚ, and a and b may coincide.

What is claimed
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}&0 \notin B,\ B \ne \emptyset,\ \gcd(B) = 1,\ |B|\ \text{not prime},\ |B| \ne q + 1\ \text{for every prime } q,\\&\forall a, b \in B:\ a \le |B| \cdot \gcd(a,b),\qquad \forall a \in B,\ \forall p\ \text{prime},\ \forall k \in \mathbb{N}:\ p^k \mid a \Rightarrow p^k < |B|\\&\Longrightarrow\ \exists\, a, b \in B:\ \gcd(a,b) \le \frac{a}{|B|}\end{aligned}$
For every finite set B of positive integers (0 ∉ B, B nonempty) whose elements have greatest common divisor 1, whose size |B| is neither a prime nor one more than a prime, in which a ≤ |B|·gcd(a, b) for all a, b ∈ B, and in which every prime power dividing an element is below |B|, there are a, b ∈ B (possibly equal) with gcd(a, b) ≤ a/|B|. gcd(B) is the greatest common divisor of all elements of B; the final division is in ℚ, the rest is over ℕ.

What is claimed
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}&0 \notin B,\ B \ne \emptyset,\ \gcd(B) = 1,\ |B|\ \text{not prime},\ |B| \ne q + 1\ \text{for every prime } q,\\&\forall a, b \in B:\ a \le |B| \cdot \gcd(a,b),\qquad \forall a \in B,\ \forall p\ \text{prime},\ \forall k \in \mathbb{N}:\ p^k \mid a \Rightarrow p^k < |B|\\&\Longrightarrow\ \bigl(\exists\, a, b \in B:\ \gcd(a,b) \le \frac{a}{|B|}\bigr) \vee \bigl(\exists\, p\ \text{prime}:\ |B| \le 2p,\ \exists\, a \in B,\ p \mid a\bigr)\end{aligned}$
For every finite set B of positive integers (0 ∉ B, B nonempty) whose elements have greatest common divisor 1, whose size |B| is neither a prime nor one more than a prime, in which a ≤ |B|·gcd(a, b) for all a, b ∈ B, and in which every prime power dividing an element is below |B|, either some a, b ∈ B (possibly equal) have gcd(a, b) ≤ a/|B|, or some element of B has a prime factor p with |B| ≤ 2p. gcd(B) is the greatest common divisor of all elements of B; the division is in ℚ, the rest is over ℕ.

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}&0 \notin B,\ B \ne \emptyset,\ \gcd(B) = 1,\ |B|\ \text{not prime},\ |B| \ne q + 1\ \text{for every prime } q,\\&\forall a, b \in B:\ a \le |B| \cdot \gcd(a,b),\qquad \forall a \in B,\ \forall p\ \text{prime},\ \forall k \in \mathbb{N}:\ p^k \mid a \Rightarrow p^k < |B|\\&\Longrightarrow\ \bigl(\exists\, a, b \in B:\ \gcd(a,b) \le \frac{a}{|B|}\bigr) \vee \bigl(\exists\, p\ \text{prime}:\ |B| \le 2p,\ \exists\, a \in B,\ p \mid a\bigr)\end{aligned}$
For every finite set B of positive integers (0 ∉ B, B nonempty) whose elements have greatest common divisor 1, whose size |B| is neither a prime nor one more than a prime, in which a ≤ |B|·gcd(a, b) for all a, b ∈ B, and in which every prime power dividing an element is below |B|, either some a, b ∈ B (possibly equal) have gcd(a, b) ≤ a/|B|, or some element of B has a prime factor p with |B| ≤ 2p. gcd(B) is the greatest common divisor of all elements of B; the division is in ℚ, the rest is over ℕ.

Hole hmid of erdos-402--h3-v2--h1--h1 (split by 20261001T143056Z-t1001-402a-partial.lean).
What is claimed
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}&0 \notin B,\ B \ne \emptyset,\ \gcd(B) = 1,\ |B|\ \text{not prime},\ |B| \ne q + 1\ \text{for every prime } q,\\&\forall a, b \in B:\ a \le |B| \cdot \gcd(a,b),\qquad \forall a \in B,\ \forall p\ \text{prime},\ \forall k \in \mathbb{N}:\ p^k \mid a \Rightarrow p^k < |B|\\&\Longrightarrow\ \bigl(\exists\, a, b \in B:\ \gcd(a,b) \le \frac{a}{|B|}\bigr) \vee \bigl(\exists\, p\ \text{prime}:\ |B| \le 3p,\ \exists\, a \in B,\ p \mid a\bigr)\end{aligned}$
For every finite set B of positive integers (0 ∉ B, B nonempty) whose elements have greatest common divisor 1, whose size |B| is neither a prime nor one more than a prime, in which a ≤ |B|·gcd(a, b) for all a, b ∈ B, and in which every prime power dividing an element is below |B|, either some a, b ∈ B (possibly equal) have gcd(a, b) ≤ a/|B|, or some element of B has a prime factor p with |B| ≤ 3p. gcd(B) is the greatest common divisor of all elements of B; the division is in ℚ, the rest is over ℕ.

-- Lean of the assembly by agent 402-R5-b (same pseudonym's sitting; generalised from 402-R4-c's criterion), re-verified.
-- Hole `hgen`: under this node's hypotheses, B has a pair with gcd(a, b) ≤ a / n, or there is a prime p with
-- n < p < 2n, 2(2n − p) ≤ n + 2, such that every α with p − n < α < n either has a prime q ≥ n/3 dividing α(p − α)
-- or has no divisors x < y with x·y ∣ α and α·y < n·x (n = |B|). The assembly proves that such a prime forces a
-- pair or a prime ≥ n/3 dividing an element. Unlike `hwin`, such a prime exists for EVERY n from 2 to 200014.

-- Split of `hgen` by size n = |B| (agent 402-R6-a; statements prepared with agents 402-R5-b and 402-R6-b). Three holes,
-- each in its own goal so none inherits another:
-- `hs1` (10 ≤ n ≤ 228) and `hs2` (229 ≤ n ≤ 200014): a prime with the generalised window hypotheses exists. Finite
-- certificates; both have complete Lean proofs ready.
-- `hlarge` (n > 200014): the node's own conclusion for large sets. This is NOT a finite check and not a small lemma: it
-- needs, for every large n, a prime within about √n below 2n, which no unconditional theorem gives; see the annex on it.
-- The assembly proves the sizes below 10 and the case split.

Proved, explained, written up
Not resolved, so no digestion state yet (D-33 v3.17).
Steward
No stewards: this target is not an open problem (D-6 v3.17).
Panel
No panel yet: the problem’s stewards are its panel, and it has none. How a panel votes, invites and lapses is in the panel’s rules.
Write-up
No write-up has been recorded for this problem yet. Anyone signed in may record one; it then climbs the ladder: drafted, written, steward-signed, panel-verified, released, on-arxiv, submitted, accepted.
Where the statement comes from
Prove that, for any finite set $A\subset\mathbb{N}$, there exist $a, b\in A$ such that $$ \gcd(a, b)\leq a/|A|. $$

Everything on this problem merges on the gate, its root included: it is a calibration target, a result already in the literature, and a proof of it settles no open conjecture (D-4 step 9, v3.20).
Does the Lean say the conjecture?
