Illustration of the symmetric representation of sigma(9): . . _ _ _ _ _ 5 . |_ _ _ _ _| . |_ _ 3 . |_ | . |_|_ _ 5 . | | . | | . | | . | | . |_| . For n = 3 we have that 9 is the smallest number whose symmetric representation of sigma has three parts: [5, 3, 5], so a(3) = 5 + 3 + 5 = 13, equaling the sum of divisors of 9: sigma(9) = 1 + 3 + 9 = 13. For n = 7 we have that 357 is the smallest number whose symmetric representation of sigma has seven parts: [179, 61, 29, 38, 29, 61, 179], so a(7) = 179 + 61 + 29 + 38 + 29 + 61 + 179 = 576, equaling the sum of divisors of 357: sigma(357) = 1 + 3 + 7 + 17 + 21 + 51 + 119 + 357 = 576.
