Let n 1 , n 2 , n 3 , , n p n_1, n_2, n_3, \dots, n_p be the positive divisors of n n .

Let k 1 , k 2 , k 3 , , k q k_1, k_2, k_3, \dots, k_q be the positive divisors of k k .

We know that n 1 + n 2 + + n p 1 = k n_1+n_2+\dots+n_{p-1}=k and k 1 + k 2 + + k q 1 = n k_1+k_2+\dots+k_{q-1}=n .

Find the value of x y xy , where

x = 1 n 2 + 1 n 3 + 1 n 4 + + 1 n p x=\frac{1}{n_2}+\frac{1}{n_3}+\frac{1}{n_4}+\dots+\frac{1}{n_p}

y = 1 k 2 + 1 k 3 + 1 k 4 + + 1 k q y=\frac{1}{k_2}+\frac{1}{k_3}+\frac{1}{k_4}+\dots+\frac{1}{k_q}

Note: n 1 = k 1 = 1 n_1=k_1=1 and n p = n , k q = k n_p=n, k_q=k .
