Do all aliquot sequences eventually end with a prime number, a perfect number, or a set of amicable or sociable numbers? (Catalan's aliquot sequence conjecture)
(more unsolved problems in mathematics)
In mathematics, an aliquot sequence is a sequence of positive integers in which each term is the sum of the proper divisors of the previous term. If the sequence reaches the number 1, it ends, since the sum of the proper divisors of 1 is 0.
