Mathematics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an amicable triple is a set of three different numbers so related that the restricted sum of the divisors of each is equal to the sum of other two numbers.[1][2]

In another equivalent characterization, an amicable triple is a set of three different numbers so related that the sum of the divisors of each is equal to the sum of the three numbers.
So a triple (a, b, c) of natural numbers is called amicable if s(a) = b + c, s(b) = a + c and s(c) = a + b, or equivalently if σ(a) = σ(b) = σ(c) = a + b + c. Here σ(n) is the sum of all positive divisors, and s(n) = σ(n) − n is the aliquot sum.[3]
