Nice question! The key here is to rewrite S . Let f ( n ) = d ∣ n ! ∑ d + n ! 1 ⟹ 2 f ( n ) = 2 d ∣ n ! ∑ d + n ! 1 . Now since d ∣ n ! ∑ d + n ! 1 = d ∣ n ! ∑ d n ! + n ! 1 , it is easy to see that 2 f ( n ) = d ∣ n ! ∑ ⎝ ⎜ ⎛ d + n ! 1 + d n ! + n ! 1 ⎠ ⎟ ⎞ . Then by simplification 2 f ( n ) = d ∣ n ! ∑ ⎝ ⎜ ⎛ d + n ! 1 + d n ! + n ! 1 ⎠ ⎟ ⎞ = d ∣ n ! ∑ d d n ! + ( d + d n ! ) n ! + n ! ( d + d n ! ) + 2 n ! = d ∣ n ! ∑ 2 ⋅ n ! + ( d + d n ! ) n ! ( d + d n ! ) + 2 n ! = d ∣ n ! ∑ n ! 1 . Thus, f ( n ) = d ∣ n ! ∑ 2 ⋅ n ! 1 = 2 ⋅ n ! 1 d ∣ n ! ∑ 1 . Finally, f ( n ) = 2 n ! σ ( n ! ) and f ( 1 0 ) = 2 1 0 ! σ ( 1 0 ! ) = 2 1 0 ! ( 8 + 1 ) ( 4 + 1 ) ( 2 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) = 1 0 ! 1 3 5 .
