A divisor of
for which
(1)
|
where
is the greatest common divisor. For example,
the divisors of 12 are
,
so the unitary divisors are
. A list of unitary divisors of a number
an be computed in the Wolfram
Language using:
UnitaryDivisors[n_Integer] := Sort[Flatten[Outer[ Times, Sequence @@ ({1, #}& /@ Power @@@ FactorInteger[n]) ]]]
The following table gives the unitary divisors for the first few integers (OEIS A077610).

Given the prime factorization
(2)
|
then
(3)
|
is a unitary divisor of
if each
is 0 or
.
For a prime power
, the unitary divisors are 1 and
(Cohen 1990).
The symbol
is used to denote to the unitary divisor function.
The numbers of unitary divisors of
, 2, ... are 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 4,
2, 2, 4, 2, 4, ... (OEIS A034444). These numbers
are also the numbers of squarefree divisors of
. The number of unitary divisors of
is also given by
, where
is the number of different primes dividing
.
