| fordiv() vs sumdiv() |

gp> ??fordiv
fordiv(n,X,seq):
the formal variable X ranging through the positive divisors of n, the
sequence seq is evaluated. n must be of type integer.
gp> ??sumdiv
sumdiv(n,X,expr):
sum of expression expr over the positive divisors of n.
gp> fordiv(-1,x,print(x))
1
gp> sumdiv(-1,x,print(x))
%1 = 0
In the case of fordiv() the divisor 1 is used, while in sumdiv() no divisor
is used. The documentation does not explain this difference. Shalom, Michael
