348.0. "sum of prime power divisors" by TOOLS::STAN () Thu Oct 17 1985 14:22

(Paul Erdos)

Let f(n) = SUM p^a where the sum is taken over the prime divisors of n,

and p^a is the highest power of p less than n, i.e. n/p <= p^a < n.

Can f(n)=n?   The number of distinct primes dividing n must be odd and >1.

[Guy noticed that 2^3 . 3 . 19 = 228 = 2^7 + 3^4 + 19 and wonders if there
are "multiperfect" such numbers with f(n)=kn.]
