| Question : |
|
What are Aliquot Parts ? |
Answer : |
|
Aliquot is actually a part of a number or quantity which will divide the number or quantity without a remainder. It can also
called a submultiple.
|
|
The word comes from the Latin ali (other) and quot (how many). |
|
For Example,
|
|
4 is an Aliquot or submultiple of 16.
|
|
An aliquot sequence is formed by taking the sum of the aliquot parts of a number,
adding them to form a new number, then repeating this process on the next number and so on.
