The problem

Given an array of unique integers, arr, where each integer arr[i] is strictly greater than 1. We make a binary tree using these integers, and each number may be used for any number of times.

Example

Input
arr = [2,4]
Output
3
Explanation
We can make these trees: [2], [4], [4, 2, 2]

                b = arr[j]
                if a % b == 0 and (c := (a // b)) in idx:
                    f[i] = (f[i] + f[j] * f[idx[c]]) % mod
        return sum(f) % mod
