In mathematics, a Ruth–Aaron pair consists of two consecutive integers (e.g., 714 and 715) for which the sums of the prime factors of each integer are equal: 714 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 17, 715 = 5 × 11 × 13, and 2 + 3 + 7 + 17 = 5 + 11 + 13 = 29. There are different variations in the definition, depending on how many times to count primes that appear multiple times in a factorization.
