Frobenius number
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Let $S=\{a_1,\ldots,a_k\}$ be a finite set of positive integers with greatest common divisor $1$. The Frobenius number of $S$ is the largest natural number that cannot be written as a linear integer combination of the $a_i$ with non-negative coefficients.
See Frobenius problem.
