Problem Statement

Two integers

N

{\displaystyle N}

and

M

{\displaystyle M}

are said to be amicable pairs if

N ≠ M

{\displaystyle N\neq M}

and the sum of the proper divisors of

N

{\displaystyle N}

(

s u m

(

p r o p D i v s

( N ) )

{\displaystyle \mathrm {sum} (\mathrm {propDivs} (N))}

)

= M

{\displaystyle =M}

as well as

s u m

(

p r o p D i v s

( M ) )

N

{\displaystyle \mathrm {sum} (\mathrm {propDivs} (M))=N}

.

1184 and 1210 are an amicable pair, with proper divisors:

Calculate and show here the Amicable pairs below 20,000; (there are eight).

Let's start with the solution:

use ntheory qw/divisor_sum/;
for my $x (1..20000) {
  my $y = divisor_sum($x)-$x;
  say "$x $y" if $y > $x && $x == divisor_sum($y)-$y;
}
