The problem statement is clear but could be more precise. Explicitly stating that both players play optimally would remove ambiguity. The phrase "evenly divides" should be clarified as "a proper divisor of x." Additionally, specifying whether any valid divisor can be chosen or if constraints (e.g., odd-only reductions) apply would improve clarity. Finally, explicitly mentioning that if m = 1, Player 1 loses immediately would help avoid confusion.
