Examples
- The two integers are relatively prime if they have no common aliquot other than 1.
- Since the numbers 3 and 4 are both aliquots of 12, the difference of 3 and 4 is also an aliquot.
- Divide 16 by the aliquot numbers of 16 to simplify this quotient.
- 12, being an aliquot of 36, was also divided to determine sub-mean scores.
- This method states that the distribution denominator must be one or more of the aliquots.
