I am not sure what sigma ($\Sigma$ or $\sigma$) means in your problem. Perhaps you can use the formula editor to the right of the edit box to enter the formula exactly as it appears in the problem statement, as well as the complete problem statement itself. LaTeX symbol codes (they start with a backslash) should be enclosed in the $$...$$ tags.

Hi Vi Nguyen! Welcome to MHB! ;)

The only sigma function I know, is the sum-of-divisors function. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisor_function .

In that case we have:
$$\sigma(210)=576$$
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

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...
