Let $a_1,a_2,...,a_{15}$ be positive integers for which the number $a_k^{k+1} - a_k$ is not divisible by $17$ for any $k = 1,...,15$. Show that there are integers $b_1,b_2,...,b_{15}$ such that: (i) $b_m - b_n$ is not divisible by $17$ for $1 \le m < n \le 15$, and (ii) each $b_i$ is a product of one or more terms of $(a_i)$.
