Continuing the work, we define large divisors to be divisors at least $\\sqrt{n}$ and find all numbers whose large divisors are in arithmetic progression. The asymptotic formula for the count of these numbers up to a bound $x$ is observed to be $\\frac{x\\log\\log x}{\\log x}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-25T03:50:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B25" ], "keywords": [ "arithmetic progression", "natural number", "define large divisors", "square root", "asymptotic formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
