Despite what this comic implies, the divisor function is defined over the Gaussian integers. There still is a problem, though. If a divides b, then so does -a, along with ai and -ai. The divisors will inevitably sum to zero. You could get around this by ignoring all the numbers that aren't in a given quadrant. I personally like the idea of using ones where the real part is greater than the imaginary part (although that still does become a problem with multiples of 1+i). This way, a friend of a natural number will also be a natural number (though it's only the same as what you'd get normally if all the factors are three mod four). {{unsigned ip|199.27.128.167}} | Despite what this comic implies, the divisor function is defined over the Gaussian integers.

:So you're saying that the only friends imaginary friends have are imaginary?

Does someone care to hazard a guess about the alt text? Are there any possible papers that could have been written about those three fields?
