# Definition:Quasiamicable Numbers

## Definition

Let $m \in \Z_{>0}$ and $n \in \Z_{>0}$ be (strictly) positive integers.

### Definition 1

$m$ and $n$ are quasiamicable numbers if and only if:

the sum of the proper divisors of $m$ is equal to $n$

and:

the sum of the proper divisors of $n$ is equal to $m$.

### Definition 2

$m$ and $n$ are quasiamicable numbers if and only if:

$\sigma \left({m}\right) = \sigma \left({n}\right) = m + n + 1$

where $\sigma \left({m}\right)$ denotes the $\sigma$ function.

## Sequence

The sequence of quasiamicable pairs begins:

$\left({48, 75}\right), \left({140, 195}\right), \left({1050, 1925}\right), \left({1575, 1648}\right) \ldots$

## Examples

### $48$ and $75$

$48$ and $75$ form a quasiamicable pair.

### $140$ and $195$

$140$ and $195$ form a quasiamicable pair.

## Also known as

Quasiamicable numbers are often referred to as quasiamicable pairs, which acknowledges the fact that they come in sets of $2$ at a time.

Some sources hyphenate: quasi-amicable.

They are often seen with the name betrothed numbers.

Some sources refer to quasiamicable pairs as reduced amicable pairs.
