When are WUs rich in amicable pairs going to start? Because I see that in the last period there are often less than 100 amicable pairs discovered per day.

In the readme on github I've seen that there are mainly two types of searches that you can perform with the program: from to and largest prime factor. I know it's stupid, but I can't figure out what it means to have a factorization between a certain factorization and another, could you define it? Also, how can you spot all the numbers with largest prime factor between two certain numbers when you perform the second type of search? Thank you for your patience.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I have another question: how do you decide wheter to test a number or not? How can you prove without the test that a number can't be part of an amicable pair?

I would like to know what exactly is that number. Thanks in advance.

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Newbie questions about the project (Message 815) Posted 30 Apr 2018 by David703 Post: Thank you for the answer. But so, regarding to the first answer, are you actually going to find all the amicable pairs under the number 10^20 after the end of the current search or are you going to miss some?
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Newbie questions about the project (Message 813) Posted 30 Apr 2018 by David703 Post: As you can see from the title, I would like to ask some quesitons about the project: 1)Do you go through all the numbers in your serach for amicable pairs (odd numbers included)? 2)Why in some periods of time the number of amicable pairs found is high and in others it is much lower? 3)In the list of the amicable pairs found by me I see the numbers and the list of their prime factors, why are these factors so important here? 4)Is there a way to see the computing time you've put into the project? If there is not, are you planning to add it? Thank you in advance and congratulations for your project! Edit: I realized after posting that the thread should have actually been posted in Random Stuff, I apologize.
