Abstract: We will discuss results about enumerating subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ avoiding certain multiplicative configurations. Namely, we will count primitive sets, $h$-primitive sets (where none of the elements divide the product of $h$ other elements) and multiplicative Sidon sets. Most of these problems were raised by Cameron and Erdős.
