A unitary amicable pair is a pair of distinct positive integers
and
such that
where
is the unitary divisor function . Hagis
(1971) and García (1987) give 82 such pairs. The first few are (114, 126),
(1140, 1260), (18018, 22302), (32130, 40446), ... (OEIS A002952
and A002953 ; Pedersen).
In January 2004, Y. Kohmoto reported a unitary amicable pair in which each member has 317 digits, a record at the time (Peterson 2004).
Kohmoto calls a unitary amicable pair whose members are squareful
a proper unitary amicable pair.
