Example of Divisor Sum of Non-Square Semiprime

$\map {\sigma_1} {26} = 42$

where ${\sigma_1}$ denotes the divisor sum function.


Proof 1

From Divisor Sum of Integer:

$\ds \map {\sigma_1} n = \prod_{1 \mathop \le i \mathop \le r} \frac {p_i^{k_i + 1} - 1} {p_i - 1}$

where $n = \ds \prod_{1 \mathop \le i \mathop \le r} p_i^{k_i}$ denotes the prime decomposition of $n$.


We have that:

$26 = 2 \times 13$

Hence:

\(\ds \map {\sigma_1} {26}\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {2^2 - 1} {2 - 1} \times \frac {13^2 - 1} {13 - 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac 3 1 \times \frac {168} {12}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 3 \times 14\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 42\)

$\blacksquare$


Proof 2

We have that:

$26 = 2 \times 13$

and so by definition is a semiprime whose prime factors are distinct.


Hence:

\(\ds \map {\sigma_1} {26}\) \(=\) \(\ds \paren {2 + 1} \paren {13 + 1}\) Divisor Sum of Non-Square Semiprime
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 3 \times 14\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 42\)

$\blacksquare$
