After more than 6 years, the BOINC project to find all amicable numbers up to 1021 is finished!

There are 4,810,863 21-digit amicable numbers, and 4,661,814 (96.9%) of them were found by BOINC volunteers. More than 60 million WUs were created and crunched through over the years.

Congratulations everyone and thank you all for your participation!

There are no plans to run the search up to 1022 at the moment - it will take more than 60 years, which is impractical. If, and that's a big IF, a new more efficient exhaustive search method is discovered in the future, then it will make sense to start the project again.
Das Projekt ist somit beendet.
