A085102 Go on adding the divisors of n starting from n in decreasing order until one gets a prime. a(n) = this prime, or 0 if no prime is obtained. 1

%N Go on adding the divisors of n starting from n in decreasing order until one gets a prime. a(n) = this prime, or 0 if no prime is obtained.

%C 1. a(p) = p, where p is a prime, by definition. 2. If 2^k -1 is a Mersenne prime then a(2^(k-1)) = 2^k -1 else a(2^(k-1))= 0. 3. a(p^(2k+1)) = 0, if p is prime.

%e a(28) = 53 because 28+14+7+4 = 53 is prime.

%o (PARI) a(n) = {d = divisors(n); p = 0; forstep (i = #d, 1, -1, p += d[i]; if (isprime(p), return (p));); return (0);} \\ _Michel Marcus_, Sep 17 2013
