Problem

For any positive integer n, show the following:(a) ∑d|nσ(d)= ∑d|n(n/d)τ(d)(b) ∑d|n(n/d)σ(d...

For any positive integer n, show the following:

(a) d|nσ(d)= d|n(n/d)τ(d)


(b) d|n(n/d)σ(d)=(d|n(d)

[Hint: Because the functions

are both multiplicative, it suffices to prove that F(pk) = G(pk) for any prime p.]
