Problem

For any positive integer $n$, define $\boxed{n}$ to be the sum of the positive factors of $n$. For example, $\boxed{6} = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12$. Find $\boxed{\boxed{11}}$ .

$\textbf{(A)}\ 13 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 20 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 24 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 28 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 30$

Solution

We have \begin{align*} \boxed{\boxed{11}}&=\boxed{1+11} \\ &=\boxed{12} \\ &=1+2+3+4+6+12 \\ &=28, \end{align*} from which the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 28}.$
