Help me! Part 2

Does $\binom{\sigma_0(a)} a=0$ for $n \ge 3$ and $n$ is a positive integer?

Note

The divisor function of $a$ ( $\sigma_0(a)$ ) gives the answer(s) of "how many number $b$ such that $a$ is divisible by $b$ ?"

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Comments

When $n \geq 3$ it is true that $\sigma_0(n) \leq n$ . And by definition, $\binom{u}{v} = 0$ where $u \lt v$ . So it looks to me like the answer is yes.

Absolutely correct, a cheating site cant be referred but a site like Student Life Saviour can be referred, as they never do assignments, rather their professionals give hints on how to do maths problem easily.

An interesting example solution. Personally, when I was a student, I didn’t really bother with math. This was not my core subject. Yes, and I just did not like it. I use site check this out. There you can buy assignment online, find essays or math examples. All my friend use or used this when want to time and get quality materials.

I don't think brilliant.org members fit the profile of the type of people who would be interested in an academic cheating web site.
