On a problem of De Koninck

Abstract: Let

s i g m a (n)

and

g a m m a (n)

denote the sum of divisors and the product of distinct prime divisors of

n

respectively. We shall show that, if

n e q 1, 1782

and

s i g m a (n) = (g a m m a (n))^{2}

, then there exist odd (not necessarily distinct) primes

p, p^{p} r i m e

and (not necessarily odd) distinct primes

q_{i} (i = 1, 2, l d o t s, k)

such that

p, p^{p} r i m e m i d m i d n

,

q_{i}^{2} m i d m i d n (i = 1, 2, l d o t s, k)

and

q_{1} m i d s i g m a (p^{2}), q_{i + 1} m i d s i g m a (q_{i}^{2}) (1 l e q i l e q k - 1), p^{p} r i m e m i d s i g m a (q_{k}^{2})

.
