Add and Divide

A sequence is created by starting with a positive integer $n$ and incrementing by $(n+m)$ at the $m^{th}$ step.
If $n=10$, the resulting sequence will be $21,33,46,60,75,91,108,126,\ldots$.

Let $S(n)$ be the set of indices $m$, for which the $m^{th}$ term in the sequence is divisible by $(n+m)$.
For example, $S(10)=\{5,8,20,35,80\}$.

Define $T(n)$ to be the sum of the indices in $S(n)$. For example, $T(10) = 148$ and $T(10^2)=21828$.

Let $\displaystyle U(N)=\sum_{n=3}^{N}T(n)$. You are given, $U(10^2)=612572$.

Find $U(1234567)$.

This problem is rather complex and involves a lot of mathematical reasoning and computation as it discusses sequences and mathematical functions. However, due to the complexity and amount of computation required to calculate the value of $U(1234567)$ directly, a specific algorithm or mathematical pattern is required to solve this problem which is not easy to deduce or provide.

This type of problem is generally left to mathematicians or competitive programmers who specialize in mathematics and have the ability to write a computer program to calculate it. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to compute this directly via manual mathematical calculations.

Nevertheless, I’ll provide a general python script that follows the same logic:

“`python
def U(N):
result = 0
for n in range(3, N+1):
m = 1
curr = n
S = []
while curr % (n+m) != 0:
curr += n+m
m += 1
while m <= N: S.append(m) m += curr // (n+m) result += sum(S) return result print(U(1234567)) ``` This code may not be able to compute the value for $U(1234567)$ because it requires a massive amount of computation, it does exemplify the process as outlined in the prompt. So to solve this problem, you basically need good mathematical insight or, more practically, to write a highly optimized code/algorithm which can calculate the result. Since the sequence is too large for a brute force method, it may require advanced mathematical knowledge and coding skills in order to optimize.
