For instance, the number 220 has the proper divisors 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, and 110, whose sum is 284. The proper divisors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71, and 142; their sum is 220. Therefore, the numbers 220 and 284 are said to be amicable.

The solution to this problem is to iterate through all the numbers up to the given limit. For each number, compute the sum of its proper divisors. Let’s call this sum1. Repeat the process and ...
