AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around proving the existence of a natural number n that has more than 2017 divisors d, constrained by the condition that the square root of n is less than or equal to d, and d is less than 1.01 times the square root of n. Participants emphasize the importance of sharing progress or initial thoughts when asking for help to facilitate more effective assistance. The initial poster is encouraged to provide their work to avoid redundant suggestions. The conversation aims to explore the mathematical properties of divisors within the specified range.

Hello
could you help me to solve my task

$n \in \Bbb{N}$
Prove that there is n which has more than 2017 divisors d that:

$\sqrt{n} \le d < 1,01 * \sqrt{n}$

Thank you

Hello anre and welcome to MHB! :D

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
