The elements of a maximum (largest possible) subset are 1, n, and powers of primes that have no common factor with n. The cardinalities of maximum subsets is A186971(n).

FORMULA
a(n) = Product_{p in Primes with p<n and GCD(n,p)=1} floor(log_p(n)).
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 2 because there are 2 maximum subsets of {1,2,3,4,5} containing 5 and having pairwise coprime elements: {1,2,3,5}, {1,3,4,5}.
a(9) = 3, the maximum subsets are {1,2,5,7,9}, {1,4,5,7,9}, {1,5,7,8,9}.
MAPLE
with(numtheory):
a:= n-> mul(ilog[j](n), j={ithprime(i)$i=1..pi(n)} minus factorset(n)):
seq(a(n), n=1..200);
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := Product[Log[p, n] // Floor, {p, Select[Range[n-1], PrimeQ[#] && GCD[n, #] == 1&]}]; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 200}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 09 2014, after Alois P. Heinz *)
