Subtask 1
The key observation to this problem is that after sorting, it is optimal to greedily fill groups. Specifically, take the smallest element, create a group containing all multiples of this element, and repeat. Proof is left as an exercise.
For this subtask, we can do this naively.
Time Complexity:
Subtask 2

Time Complexity:
