What Are Betrothed Numbers?

Betrothed numbers are a pair of positive integers where the sum of the proper divisors of one number (excluding 1 and itself) equals the other number, and vice versa. Unlike amicable numbers, which exclude only the number itself, betrothed numbers also exclude 1.

How to Determine if Two Numbers Are Betrothed

  1. Find the Divisors: Identify all proper divisors of each number, excluding 1 and the number itself.
  2. Sum the Divisors: Add the divisors for both numbers.
  3. Check the Result: If the sum of the divisors of the first number equals the second number and the sum of the divisors of the second number equals the first number, they are betrothed numbers. Otherwise, they are not.

Examples

Example 1: Are 60 and 80 betrothed numbers?

Solution:

1. Find the Divisors:

Divisors of 60 (excluding 1 and itself): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30

Divisors of 80 (excluding 1 and itself): 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40

2. Sum the Divisors:

Sum of Divisors of 60: 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 10 + 12 + 15 + 20 + 30 = 107

Sum of Divisors of 80: 2 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 10 + 16 + 20 + 40 = 105

Conclusion: 60 and 80 are not betrothed numbers.

Example 2: Are 140 and 195 betrothed numbers?

Solution:

1. Find the Divisors:

Divisors of 140 (excluding 1 and itself): 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70

Divisors of 195 (excluding 1 and itself): 3, 5, 13, 15, 39, 65

2. Sum the Divisors:

Sum of Divisors of 140: 2 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 10 + 14 + 20 + 28 + 35 + 70 = 195

Sum of Divisors of 195: 3 + 5 + 13 + 15 + 39 + 65 = 140

Conclusion: 140 and 195 are betrothed numbers.

Example 3: Are 1050 and 1925 betrothed numbers?

Solution:

1. Find the Divisors:

Divisors of 1050 (excluding 1 and itself): 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21, 25, 30, 35, 42, 50, 70, 75, 105, 150, 175, 210, 350, 525

Divisors of 1925 (excluding 1 and itself): 5, 7, 11, 25, 35, 55, 77, 175, 275, 385

2. Sum the Divisors:

Sum of Divisors of 1050: 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 10 + 14 + 15 + 21 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 42 + 50 + 70 + 75 + 105 + 150 + 175 + 210 + 350 + 525 = 1925

Sum of Divisors of 1925: 5 + 7 + 11 + 25 + 35 + 55 + 77 + 175 + 275 + 385 = 1050

Conclusion: 1050 and 1925 are betrothed numbers.
