## The Divisor Function The **divisor function** σ(n) sums all positive divisors of a natural number n, including 1 and n itself. **Example:** σ(6) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12 ## Common Misconception Many people mistakenly believe that **σ(ab) = σ(a) × σ(b) always holds**. This is only true when a and b are **coprime** (share no common factors besides 1). **Counterexample:** - σ(4) × σ(6) = 7 × 12 = 84 - σ(24) = 60 ≠ 84 Since gcd(4,6) = 2 ≠ 1, the multiplicative property fails. The function is multiplicative, but not completely multiplicative.
