EXAMPLE
6 is the smallest number whose set of divisors can be partitioned into two disjoint sets whose arithmetic means are both integers: {1, 3} and {2, 6}.
12 is the smallest number whose set of divisors can be partitioned into two disjoint sets whose arithmetic means are both integers in three ways: ({1, 3}, {2, 4, 6, 12}), ({2, 6}, {1, 3, 4, 12}) and ({4, 12}, {1, 2, 3, 6}).
