Since when the greatest common divisor is at least , and is empty otherwise, finite intersections of the are again among the allowed unions. Arbitrary unions are built into the definition; the empty union is empty, and . Thus these sets form a topology.
The space is not Hausdorff: every neighborhood of contains its divisor , and every neighborhood of contains , so and cannot have disjoint neighborhoods.
