Amicable numbers are a pair of distinct natural numbers (a, b) such that the sum of the proper divisors of a equals b and the sum of the proper divisors of b equals a. Given that (220, y) is a pair of amicable numbers, y equals:
Amicable numbers are a pair of distinct natural numbers (a, b) such that the sum of the proper divisors of a equals b and the sum of the proper divisors of b equals a. Given that (220, y) is a pair of amicable numbers, y equals:
Correct Option: 2
Let's find all proper divisors of 220: Proper divisors are all positive divisors excluding the number itself Factors of 220 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110, 220 Proper divisors of 220 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110 Sum of proper divisors of 220 = 284No need to check other options since we found our answer.Therefore, y = 284.
