Two numbers $m$ and $n$ are considered amicable if the sum of their proper divisors, $s(n)$ and $s(m)$, satisfy $s(n) = m$ and $s(m) = n$. In 1981, Pomerance showed that the sum of the reciprocals of all such numbers, $P$, is a constant. We…

This paper, along with E592 and E636, seems to consider the binomial expansion (1+z)^n in the case where z is complex. Euler even gives the sums of divergent series. The paper is translated from Euler's Latin original into German.

Leonhard Euler likely developed his summation formula in 1732, and soon used it to estimate the sum of the reciprocal squares to 14 digits --- a value mathematicians had been competing to determine since Leibniz's astonishing discovery that…
