Example of Amicable Triplet
The following numbers form an amicable triplet:
- $103 \, 340 \, 640$
- $123 \, 228 \, 768$
- $124 \, 015 \, 008$
Proof
Let $\map s n$ denote the aliquot sum of $n$.
By definition:
- $\map s n = \map {\sigma_1} n - n$
where $\sigma_1$ denotes the divisor sum function.
Thus:
\(\ds \map s {103 \, 340 \, 640}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map {\sigma_1} {103 \, 340 \, 640} - 103 \, 340 \, 640\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 350 \, 584 \, 416 - 103 \, 340 \, 640\) | $\sigma_1$ of $103 \, 340 \, 640$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 247 \, 243 \, 776\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 123 \, 228 \, 768 + 124 \, 015 \, 008\) |
\(\ds \map s {123 \, 228 \, 768}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map {\sigma_1} {123 \, 228 \, 768} - 123 \, 228 \, 768\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 350 \, 584 \, 416 - 123 \, 228 \, 768\) | $\sigma_1$ of $123 \, 228 \, 768$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 227 \, 355 \, 648\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 103 \, 340 \, 640 + 124 \, 015 \, 008\) |
\(\ds \map s {124 \, 015 \, 008}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map {\sigma_1} {124 \, 015 \, 008} - 124 \, 015 \, 008\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 350 \, 584 \, 416 - 124 \, 015 \, 008\) | $\sigma_1$ of $124 \, 015 \, 008$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 226 \, 569 \, 408\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 103 \, 340 \, 640 + 123 \, 228 \, 768\) |
