For a set of $n+1$ integers in $[2n]$, I would like to show that there always exist two coprime ones. This seems like a classic pigeonhole problem but I'm not sure what the pigeons or holds are.

Pigeonhole principle for coprime numbers

One can use the pigeonhole principle to show that there are always two numbers next to each other. These must necessarily be coprime.
