%N Numbers whose divisors can be partitioned into two disjoint sets without singletons whose harmonic means are both integers in a record number of ways.

%C From _David A. Corneth_, Sep 25 2023: (Start)

%C By multiplying the denominator of the harmonic mean of a(n) by a(n) we get a partition over the divisors of m = a(n) where two expressions must be an integer at the same time. Let v1 and v2 be the of divisors of a(n) into two disjoint sets, |v1| and |v2| their length and h1 and h2 the sum of their respective reciprocals.

%C Let tau(m) be the number of divisors of m (cf. A000005) and sigma(m) be the sum of divisors of m (cf. A000203). Then by definition |v1|/h1 and |v2|/h2 are integers.

%C Multiply the numerators and denominators by m and we get (|v1|*m)/(h1*m) and (|v2|*m)/(h2*m) both integers. Furthermore h1*m and h2*m are integers and |v1| + |v2| = tau(m) and h1*m + h2*m = sigma(m).

%C Substituting |v2| = tau(m) - |v1| and h2*m = sigma(m) - h1*m in (|v2|*m)/(h2*m) we get (|v1|*m)/(h1*m) and ((tau(m) - |v1|) * m) / (sigma(m) - h1*m) are positive integers where tau(m) and sigma(m) are fixed and 2 <= |v1| <= tau(m)-2 and 3 <= h1 <= sigma(m) - 3 as the smallest possible sum of two divisors is 1 + 2 = 3

%C The resulting pairs (|v1|, h1*m) yield separate partition problems where one should be careful with the case (if it occurs) (2*|v1|, 2*h1*m) = (tau(n), sigma(n)). (End)

%e 12 is the smallest number whose set of divisors can be partitioned into two disjoint sets whose harmonic means are both integers: {1, 2, 3, 6} and {4, 12}.

%e 24 is the smallest number whose set of divisors can be partitioned into two disjoint sets whose harmonic means are both integers in three ways: ({3, 6}, {1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24}), ({1, 3, 6}, {2, 4, 8, 12, 24}) and ({1, 2, 3, 6}, {4, 8, 12, 24}).

%e From _David A. Corneth_, Sep 25 2023: (Start)

%e For n = 24 we have tau(n) = tau(24) = 8 and sigma(n) = sigma(24) = 60.

%e Therefore we look for (|v1|*24) / (h1*24) and ((8-|v1|)*24) / (60 - h1*24) both integers. It turns out that the pairs (|v1|, 24*h1) in {(2, 12), (2, 24), (2, 48), (3, 36), (4, 12)} (omitting conjugates) give integers.

%e The divisors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. (2, 12) gives the sum 4 + 8; a sum of two distinct divisors of 24 summing to 12. (2, 24) gives no solution, likewise (2, 48) does not. From (3, 36) we get 4 + 8 + 24 and from (4, 12) we get 1 + 2 + 3 + 6.

%e And indeed these correspond to 2/(8/24 + 4/24) = 2/(1/3 + 1/6), 3/(24/24 + 8/24 + 4/24) = 3/(1 + 1/3 + 1/6) and 4/(24/24 + 12/24 + 8/24 + 4/24) = 4/(1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6). (End)
