Problem 9
Let 
denote the number of positive integer divisors of 
. Find the sum of the six least positive integers that are solutions to 
.
Solution
Essentially, you realize that to get 7 you need an odd amount of divisors + and even amount of divisors. This means that one of our n needs to be a square. Furthermore it must either be a prime squared to get 3 divisors or a prime to the fourth to get 5 divisors. Any more factors in a square would be to large. Thus n/n+1 is in the form p^2 or p^4. The rest of the solution is bashing left to the reader.
