Problem Statement

Let NN be a positive integer such that the sum of the squares of all positive divisors of NN is equal to the product N(N+3)N(N+3). Prove that there exist two indices ii and jj such that N=FiFjN=F_iF_j where (Fi)n=1(F_i)_{n=1}^{\infty} is the Fibonacci sequence defined as F1=F2=1F_1=F_2=1 and Fn=Fn1+Fn2F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2} for n3n\geq 3.
