If a rational matrix A is a partition regular matrix, every finite coloring of the positive integers admits monochromatic y1​,…,yn​ such that
A(1/y1​,…,1/yn​)T=0.
(1)
Choose a compactness bound for partition regularity T for the number of colors, put S=lcm(1,…,T), and pull back the coloring by t↦S/t on [T]. A monochromatic positive solution x of Ax=0 gives yi​=S/xi​; then (1/yi​)=xi​/S. The least common multiple guarantees that every yi​ is a positive integer.
