fordiv() vs sumdiv() |
GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.0.17 (beta) i686 running linux (ix86 kernel) 32-bit version parisize = 4000000, primelimit = 500000 gp> ??fordiv fordiv(n,X,seq): the formal variable X ranging through the positive divisors of n, the sequence seq is evaluated. n must be of type integer. gp> ??sumdiv sumdiv(n,X,expr): sum of expression expr over the positive divisors of n. gp> fordiv(-1,x,print(x)) 1 gp> sumdiv(-1,x,print(x)) %1 = 0 In the case of fordiv() the divisor 1 is used, while in sumdiv() no divisor is used. The documentation does not explain this difference.
