AMC 12 2015b Problem 18

  • Paper

For every composite positive integer nn, define r(n)r(n) to be the sum of the factors in the prime factorization of nn. For example, r(50)=12r(50) = 12 because the prime factorization of 5050 is 2×522 \times 5^{2}, and 2+5+5=122 + 5 + 5 = 12. What is the range of the function rr, {r(n):n is a composite positive integer}\{r(n): n \text{ is a composite positive integer}\} ?

\textbf{(A)} \text{the set of positive integers} \ \textbf{(B)} \text{the set of composite positive integers} \ \textbf{(C)} \text{the set of even positive integers} \ \textbf{(D)} \text{the set of integers greater than 3} \ \textbf{(E)} \text{the set of integers greater than 4}
