Hello student,
Please find the answer to your question below
We can find the sum of positive integral divisors of any number by prime factorization of the number and following a formula
For example take a number 12
Its divisors are 1,2,3,4,6,12
SO its sum=28
it can also be found out by prime factorization of 12=22X31
no of positive integral divisors=((22+1-1)/2-1)+(31+1-1)/(3-1)=28
IN same way 999.....999(2010 times)
we get its prime factorization as 32X1111111.....(2010 times )
As it is a very big number you can find it yourself after following similar procedure
