Erdős Problem #884 has been DISPROVED (a counterexample is known). Statement: For a natural number n, let $1 = d_1 < \dotsc < d_{\tau(n)} = n$ denote the divisors of $n$ in increasing order. Does it hold that $\sum_{1 \le i < j \le \tau(n)} \frac{1}{d_j - d_i} \ll 1 + \sum_{1 \le i < \tau(n)} \frac{1}{d_{i + 1} - d_i}$ for $n \to \infty`, i.e. $\sum_{1 \le i < j \le \tau(n)} \frac{1}{d_j - d_i} \in O \left( 1 + \sum_{1 \le i < \tau(n)} \frac{1}{d_{i + 1} - d_i}) \right)$? This conjecture has been **disproved**: - In September 2025, Terence Tao gave a conditional _negative_ answer assuming the prime tuples conjecture, see `erdos_884_false_of_hardy_littlewood` for this implication. - Daniel Larsen subsequently gave an [unconditional disproof](https://github.com/Larsen-Daniel/Erdos-884/blob/main/884.pdf). *Reference:* [erdosproblems.com/884](https://www.erdosproblems.com/884) Topics: number theory, divisors. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: N/A.
