# --description--

Find the number of integers 1 < n < 107, for which n and n + 1 have the same number of positive divisors. For example, 14 has the positive divisors 1, 2, 7, 14 while 15 has 1, 3, 5, 15.

# --hints--

`euler179()` should return 986262.

```js
assert.strictEqual(euler179(), 986262);
```

# --seed--

## --seed-contents--

```js
function euler179() {

  return true;
}

euler179();
```

# --solutions--

```js
// solution required
