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: $\rightarrow$ Proper divisors are all positive divisors excluding the number itself $\rightarrow$ Factors of 220 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110, 220 $\rightarrow$ Proper divisors of 220 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110 $\rightarrow$ Sum of proper divisors of 220 = 284 No need to check other options since we found our answer. Therefore, y = 284.
