/* The proper divisors of a number are all the divisors excluding the number itself. For example, the proper divisors * of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14. As the sum of these divisors is equal to 28, we call it a perfect number. * * Interestingly the sum of the proper divisors of 220 is 284 and the sum of the proper divisors of 284 is 220, * forming a chain of two numbers. For this reason, 220 and 284 are called an amicable pair. * * Perhaps less well known are longer chains. For example, starting with 12496, we form a chain of five numbers: * * 12496 → 14288 → 15472 → 14536 → 14264 (→ 12496 → ...) * * Since this chain returns to its starting point, it is called an amicable chain. * * Find the smallest member of the longest amicable chain with no element exceeding one million.*/ #define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 199309L #include #include #include #include #include "projecteuler.h" #define N 1000000 int sociable_chain(int i, int *chain, int l, int *min); int divisors[N] = {0}; int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i, min = 0, min_tmp, length, l_max = 0; int chain[100]; double elapsed; struct timespec start, end; clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &start); for(i = 4; i <= N; i++) { /* Calculate the divisors of i and save it.
