On integers for which the sum of divisors is the square of the squarefree core
On integers for which the sum of divisors is the square of the squarefree core
Abstract
We study integers n > 1 satisfying the relation σ(n) = γ(n) ² , where σ(n) and γ(n) are the sum of divisors and the product of distinct primes dividing n, respectively. We show that the only solution n with at most four distinct prime factors is n = 1782. We show that there is no solution which is fourth power free. We also show that the number of solutions up to x > 1 is at most x ⅟⁴⁺ᵉ for any ε > 0 and all x > xε. Further, call n primitive if no proper unitary divisor d of n satisfies σ(d) | γ(d) ² . We show that the number of primitive solutions to the equation up to x is less than xᵉ for x > xₑ.
