Example of Divisor Sum of Integer

$\map {\sigma_1} {15 \, 472} = 30 \, 008$

where $\sigma_1$ denotes the divisor sum function.


Proof

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:

$15 \, 472 = 2^4 \times 967$


Hence:

\(\ds \map {\sigma_1} {15 \, 472}\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {2^5 - 1} {2 - 1} \times \frac {967^2 - 1} {967 - 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {31} 1 \times \frac {968 \times 966} {966}\) Difference of Two Squares
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 31 \times 968\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 31 \times \paren {2^3 \times 11^2}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 30 \, 008\)
