There are $m \geq 3$ positive integers, not necessarily distinct, that are arranged in a circle so that any positive integer divides the sum of its neighbours. Show that if there is exactly one $1$, then for any positive integer $n$, there are at most $\phi(n)$ copies of $n$. Proposed By- (usjl, adapted from 2014 Taiwan TST)
