If p is a prime number greater than 11, then what is the sum of all positive divisors of 12p in terms of p?

The sum of the divisors is 1 + 12 + p + 12p = 13p + 13.

wait but wouldn't you be able to get different factors with the factors of 12?

The positive divisors of 12p are:  1p,  2p,  3p,  4p,  6p,  and  13p.

 

Summing these values (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12) we get  28p.

is it safe to assume the prime number's 13?
