    "Funny enough, there's only five pairs of amicable numbers below 10,000. If you looked up [amicable numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amicable_numbers), you may have stumbled on all the numbers you need to answer the problem!\n",

    "## Sum of divisors\n",
    "Of course, you could implement your own [divisor sum function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisor_function). In [problem 12](https://projecteuler.net/problem=12), we implemented a divisor *counting* function, which is related.\n",
    "\n",
    "One important property of the divisor sum function $\\sigma(n)$ is that it is [multiplicative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_function). This means that if $a$ and $b$ are [coprime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime_integers), $\\sigma(ab) = \\sigma(a)\\sigma(b)$. It follows that if $n = 2^{r_1}3^{r_2}5^{r_3}7^{r_4}\\cdots$, then\n",
    "$$\\sigma(n) = \\sigma(2^{r_1})\\sigma(3^{r_2})\\sigma(5^{r_3})\\sigma(7^{r_4})\\cdots$$\n",
    "\n",
    "Furthermore, for a prime $p$, $\\sigma(p^k) = 1 + p + p^2 + \\cdots + p^k$. This expression is actually a partial sum of a [geometric series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series), which has a closed formula:\n",
    "$$1 + p + p^2 + \\cdots + p^k = \\frac{p^{k+1}-1}{p-1}$$\n",
    "\n",
    "Putting it all together, we can compute $\\sigma(n)$ as\n",
    "$$\\sigma(n) = \\frac{2^{r_1+1}-1}{2-1} \\cdot \\frac{3^{r_2+1}-1}{3-1} \\cdot \\frac{5^{r_3+1}-1}{5-1} \\cdot \\frac{7^{r_4+1}-1}{7-1} \\cdot \\cdots$$\n",
    "\n",
    "Therefore, if you have the number's factorization (see [problem 3](https://projecteuler.net/problem=3)), you can use it to compute the sum of its divisors.\n",
    "\n",
    "## Sieving the sums of divisors\n",
    "Since we need all the sums of divisors up to 10000, instead of factoring each number individually, we could sieve the values of $\\sigma$."
