220 and 284!" The person got confused and asked what is the connection between friendship and these numbers! Ramanujam asked him to find the divisors of each number! With much difficulty, the person derived and listed them as,
220 → 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110, 220
220 → 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110, 220
284 →1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284
Ramanujam then asked the person to exclude the numbers 220 and 284 and asked the sum of the remaining divisors. The person was astonished to find,
220 → 1+2+4+5+10+11+20+22+44+55+110=284
284 →1+2+4+71+142=220
Ramanujam explained that an ideal
