Collecting data on all amicable numbers up to a very large limit will facilitate theoretical research in several fields: [https://math.dartmouth.edu/~carlp/Amicable1.pdf 1], [https://math.dartmouth.edu/~carlp/Amicable2.pdf 2], [https://math.dartmouth.edu/theses/undergrad/2014/Nguyen-thesis.pdf 3] to name a few examples.
