Amicable numbers: History, Culture & Standards

In mathematics, the amicable numbers are two different natural numbers related in such a way that the sum of the proper divisors of each is equal to the other number. That is, s(a)=b and s(b)=a, where s(n)=σ(n) − n is equal to the sum of positive divisors of n except n itself (see also divisor function).
