Example of Divisor Sum of Integer

$\map {\sigma_1} {284} = 504$

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:

$284 = 2^2 \times 71$


Hence:

\(\ds \map {\sigma_1} {284}\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {2^3 - 1} {2 - 1} \times \paren {71 + 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 7 \times 72\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 7 \times \paren {2^3 \times 3^2}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 7\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 504\)
