2) Message boards : Random stuff : Confused as to how the list from Jan. 23 (Message 15) Posted 25 Jan 2017 by EBM Post: Thanks for replying. I saw the 220 and 284 example. 220=1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110 (added together, they equal 284) 284=1,2,4,71,142 (added together, they equal 220) For example, on the text document (exactly as copied from the page; I do see that they are first written with a number raised to a power in some places but not here) 66 "BOINC: shiva, Bryan" 2017 1908798622056988970=25711231105719661495791 (added together, these equal 526557) 2561728891117125334=21131431932273630754917 (added together, these equal 91731) Shouldn't 190879...'s factors add to equal 256172, and visa versa? Thanks.

I recently read the list that was posted on the 23rd of January (https://sech.me/ap/log/2017/2017-01-23/VOLUNTEERS%40BOINC.txt), And for the numbers that are listed, their factors (as listed) do not add up to equal the other number. Now, clearly I read something from the linked Wikipedia article wrong but I don't see what. Can someone explain how the numbers on that text documents are Amicable? Thanks.
