Longest dividing subsequence

You are given an array A of size N. Your task is to find the length of largest dividing sub sequence.A dividing sequence is a sequence a1, a2, …, aN where ai divides aj whenever i < j. For example, 3, 15, 60, 720 is a dividing sequence. 
input- 
The first line of each test case is N, where N is the size of array. 
The second line of each test case contains N space separated integers which is the input for the array. 
Output- 
the length of largest dividing sub sequence 
examples:

Input : arr[] = {2 11 16 12 36 60 71 17 29 144 288 129 432 993} 
Output : 5 
2 12 36 144 288 is dividing sub sequence of largest size
Input : 1 2 4 8 16 
Output : 5 
Whole sequence is dividing



This problem is simply a variation of Longest Increasing Subsequence. We can solve this using Dynamic Programming. The idea is to find the longest dividing subsequence ending with every element and finally return maximum of all.
