Jul 19, 2020 at 18:00 comment added Lucia You want a set where the gcd of two elements equals the absolute value of their difference. If you've found such a set with $n$ elements, then you can find one with $n+1$ elements as follows: Take the lcm of your $n$ elements and add it to each of the $n$ elements; finally take as the $n+1$ element this lcm. E.g. start with $6$, $8$, $9$, $12$ -- their lcm is $72$, and now form $72$, $78$, $80$, $81$, $84$.
