Problem Statement

Given a fixed positive integer a9a\geq 9. Prove: There exist finitely many positive integers nn, satisfying: (1)τ(n)=a\tau (n)=a (2)nϕ(n)+σ(n)n|\phi (n)+\sigma (n) Note: For positive integer nn, τ(n)\tau (n) is the number of positive divisors of nn, ϕ(n)\phi (n) is the number of positive integers n\leq n and relatively prime with nn, σ(n)\sigma (n) is the sum of positive divisors of nn.
