Given a number n, the task is to find the sum of all the factors.
Examples : 
 

Input : n = 30
Output : 72
Dividers sum 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 
             10 + 15 + 30 = 72 

Input :  n = 15
Output : 24
Dividers sum 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 = 24

 

Recommended Practice

A simple solution is to traverse through all divisors and add them. 
 

C++




// Simple C++ program to
// find sum of all divisors
// of a natural number
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// Function to calculate sum of all
//divisors of a given number
int divSum(int n)
{
    if(n == 1)
      return 1;
 
    // Sum of divisors
    int result = 0;
  
    // find all divisors which divides 'num'
    for (int i = 2; i <= sqrt(n); i++)
    {
        // if 'i' is divisor of 'n'
        if (n % i == 0)
        {
            // if both divisors are same
            // then add it once else add
            // both
            if (i == (n / i))
                result += i;
            else
                result += (i + n/i);
        }
    }
  
    // Add 1 and n to result as above loop
    // considers proper divisors greater
    // than 1.
    return (result + n + 1);
}
  
// Driver program to run the case
int main()
{
    int n = 30;
    cout << divSum(n);
    return 0;
}

    {
         if(n == 1)
           return 1;
        // Final result of summation
        // of divisors
        int result = 0;
     
        // find all divisors which divides 'num'
        for (int i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(n); i++)
        {
            // if 'i' is divisor of 'n'
            if (n % i == 0)
            {
                // if both divisors are same
                // then add it once else add
                // both
                if (i == (n / i))
                    result += i;
                else
                    result += (i + n / i);
            }
        }
     
        // Add 1 and n to result as above loop

    }

Time Complexity: O(?n) 
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

An efficient solution is to use below formula. 
Let p1, p2, … pk be prime factors of n. Let a1, a2, .. ak be highest powers of p1, p2, .. pk respectively that divide n, i.e., we can write n as n = (p1a1)*(p2a2)* … (pkak)
 

Sum of divisors = (1 + p1 + p12 ... p1a1) * 
                  (1 + p2 + p22 ... p2a2) *
                  .............................................
                  (1 + pk + pk2 ... pkak) 

We can notice that individual terms of above 
formula are Geometric Progressions (GP). We
can rewrite the formula as.

Sum of divisors = (p1a1+1 - 1)/(p1 -1) * 
                  (p2a2+1 - 1)/(p2 -1) *
                  ..................................
                  (pkak+1 - 1)/(pk -1)

How does above formula work? 
 

Consider the number 18.  

Sum of factors = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 18

Writing divisors as powers of prime factors.
Sum of factors = (20)(30) + (21)(30) + (2^0)(31) +
                 (21)(31) + (20)(3^2) + (2^1)(32)
               = (20)(30) + (2^0)(31) + (2^0)(32) +
                 (21)(3^0) + (21)(31) + (21)(32)
               = (20)(30 + 31 + 32) + 
                 (21)(30 + 31 + 32)
               = (20 + 21)(30 + 31 + 32)
If we take a closer look, we can notice that the
above expression is in the form.
(1 + p1) * (1 + p2 + p22)
Where p1 = 2 and p2 = 3 and 18 = 2132

So the task reduces to finding all prime factors and their powers.

Please suggest if someone has a better solution which is more efficient in terms of space and time.

Further Optimization. 
If there are multiple queries, we can use Sieve to find prime factors and their powers.
