Theorem
Let $n \in \Z_{>0}$ be a positive integer.
Let the divisor sum $\map {\sigma_1} n$ of $n$ be square.
Let $3$ not be a divisor of $n$.
Then the divisor sum of $3 n$ is square.
Proof
From Numbers whose Divisor Sum is Square:
-
- $\map {\sigma_1} 3 = 4 = 2^2$
The result follows as a specific instance of Product of Coprime Numbers whose Divisor Sum is Square has Square Divisor Sum.
