Can you prove that 10 is a solitary number?


A solitary number is one which does not have any friends. Solitary numbers include all primes, prime powers, and numbers for which (n,sigma(n))=1, where (a,b) is the greatest common divisor of a and b and sigma(n) is the divisor function.


The first few numbers satisfying (n,sigma(n))=1 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, 21, ... (Sloane's A014567). Numbers such as 18, 45, 48, 52, 136, 148, 160, 162, 176, 192, 196, 208, 232, 244, 261, 272, 292, 296, 297, 304, 320, 352, and 369 can also be easily proved to be solitary.


But can you prove if 10 is solitary?

can you tell me why people register in multiple names, then set questions only to answer themselves (via their other posing names)even though all the questions and answers are typed in exactly the same styles.(including puntuation, closed brackets ect)do others smell a rat or even a mouse here. Boring though it is,no?


some times posting from their I-Phones & laZily lEaving little keystroke errors beHind as cLues ?

I am inclined to agree. Let's hope she's just procrastinating.

Well, I would love to name them but I have been "asked nicely" not to pick on them, so.....


(I'm a big bully like Gordon Brown you see, it's all the years at boarding school that's made me ....well, so mean at times)


BUT you could guess and I could say "Hotter" or "Colder" maybe ?


That way the ol' fella wouldn't feel picked on ( by me ) or victimised




W**F

    • I’d also recommend Paul for electrical work. He came round the other week to help us out with a handful of jobs (installing an SPD, new light fittings, installing a dimmer switch, a bathroom fan). His quote was cheaper than what I got from others, he turned up on time and he got the job done quickly. 
    • We’d like to add our recommendation for Lukasz and team at L&L Building & Maintenance.  Lukasz has recently installed a roof terrace for us, and we’ve found him a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We contacted about a dozen recommended builders and found his quote very competitive. During the build his team delivered quality work, they were no hassle in the house at all and they kept the place tidy every day. The terrace looks great, and we’re very happy customers. What stood out in particular was Lukasz’s responsiveness, right from discussing quotes to follow-up during the build. Lukasz often checked in and was always available when we needed him.  We’ll definitely contact Lukasz again for future building work and we’d happily recommend him to others looking for a reliable builder.   Lukasz Kugaczewski L&L Building & Maintenance 07926651960 [email protected] www.landl-build.com
    • Yes, I did mention the train, which I now get from East Dulwich to Guys instead of the 40. Depends where in East Dulwich you are starting from which route is easiest! I think it is probably lack of staff rather than lack of hospitals which is the problem?
    • What can be done? How about reporting it to the police?
