Composite numbers

a

and

b

have equal number of divisors. All proper divisors of

a

were written in ascending order and all proper divisors of

b

were written under them in ascending order, then the numbers that are below each other were added together. It turned out that the resulting numbers formed a set of all proper divisors of a certain number. What are the smallest values that

a

and

b

take?
