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’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".
    • Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.
    • Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is? 
    • We're looking for a second hand / ex display kitchen to install late November / early December. If anyone is renovating / getting a new kitchen in the next month and looking to sell on or get rid of their old units and appliances please do get in touch. Many thanks
