Theorem
The number $1 \, 857 \, 437 \, 604$ is a square number whose divisor sum is a cube.
Proof
\(\ds 1 \, 857 \, 437 \, 604\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 43 \, 098^2\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \map {\sigma_1} {1 \, 857 \, 437 \, 604}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 5 \, 168 \, 743 \, 489\) | $\sigma_1$ of $1 \, 857 \, 437 \, 604$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 1729^3\) |
