Aliquot Sequence

An aliquot sequence begins with a positive integer, where each subsequent term is the sum of the proper divisors of the previous one. These numerical journeys can lead to Perfect Numbers, primes, or fall into repeating patterns known as Aliquot Cycles. The eventual fate of many aliquot sequences, especially those that never repeat or terminate, remains an intriguing puzzle in number theory.
