/**
 * Amicable numbers are two different natural numbers that the sum of the
 * proper divisors of each is equal to the other number.
 * (A proper divisor of a number is a positive factor of that number other than the number itself.
 * For example, the proper divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3.)
 * A pair of amicable numbers constitutes an aliquot sequence of period 2.
 * It is unknown if there are infinitely many pairs of amicable numbers.

 * Simple Example : (220, 284)
 * 220 is divisible by {1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110} <- SUM = 284
 * 284 is divisible by {1,2,4,71,142} <- SUM = 220.
