+.....+
=+(+.....+)
=,
which is equivalent to
.
Notice that, obviously, , therefore , whence , so
∈{ ,,,,,, }...(i.e. all the divisors of that are ≤- a total of cases).
here they are:
1. If then ; it follows that and , so you have
.2 If then ; it follows that and , so you have
.
3. If then 2; it follows that and, so you have
.
4. If then ; it follows that and , so you have
.
5 If then ; it follows that and , so you have
.
6. If then ; it follows that and, so you have
.
7. If then ; it follows that and , so you have
