EXAMPLE

The divisors of twelve are {1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12}, the first difference is {1, 1, 1, 2 and 6}. The even differences add up to 8 while the odd differences add up to 3. The absolute difference between the even and odd first differences of 12 therefore is 5.

MATHEMATICA

f[ n_Integer ] := (d = Divisors[ n ]; l = Length[ d ]; s = 0; i = 1; While[ i < l, e = d[ [ i + 1 ] ] - d[ [ i ] ]; If[ EvenQ[ e ], s = s + e, s = s - e ]; i++ ]; Abs[ s ]); Table[ f[ n ], {n, 1, 75} ]
