## Key findings

- Proved the integrality of specific BPS invariants of knots.
- Established divisibility properties conjectured for these invariants.
- Derived formulas involving binomial coefficients and the Möbius function.

## Abstract

We give a number theoretic proof of the integrality of certain BPS invariants of knots. The formulas for these numbers are sums involving binomial coefficients and the M\"obius function. We also prove a conjecture about further divisibility properties of the invariants.
