Amicable number
Amicable numbers are two different
numbers so related that the
sum of the
proper divisors of the one is equal to the other,
one being considered as a proper divisor but not the number itself. Such a pair is (
220,
284); for the proper divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55 and 110, of which the sum is 284; and the proper divisors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71, and 142, of which the sum is 220. Amicable numbers were known to the
Pythagoreans, who credited them with many mystical properties.
