## Description
<section id='description'>
Two integers $N$ and $M$ are said to be <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amicable numbers" title="wp: Amicable numbers">amicable pairs</a> if $N \neq M$ and the sum of the <a href="http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Proper divisors" title="Proper divisors">proper divisors</a> of $N$ ($\mathrm{sum}(\mathrm{propDivs}(N))$) $= M$ as well as $\mathrm{sum}(\mathrm{propDivs}(M)) = N$.
Example:
1184 and 1210 are an amicable pair, with proper divisors:
 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 37, 74, 148, 296, 592  and
 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 55, 110, 121, 242, 605   respectively.
Task:
Calculate and show here the Amicable pairs below 20,000 (there are eight).

```js
// amicablePairsUpTo :: Int -> [(Int, Int)]
function amicablePairsUpTo (maxNum) {
  return range(1, maxNum)
    .map(x => properDivisors(x)
      .reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0))
    .reduce((a, m, i, lst) => {
      const n = i + 1;

      return (m > n) && lst[m - 1] === n ?
        a.concat([
          [n, m]
        ]) : a;
    }, []);
}

// properDivisors :: Int -> [Int]
function properDivisors (n) {
  if (n < 2) return [];

  const rRoot = Math.sqrt(n);
  const intRoot = Math.floor(rRoot);
  const blnPerfectSquare = rRoot === intRoot;
  const lows = range(1, intRoot)
  .filter(x => (n % x) === 0);

  return lows.concat(lows.slice(1)
    .map(x => n / x)
    .reverse()
    .slice(blnPerfectSquare | 0));
}

// Int -> Int -> Maybe Int -> [Int]
function range (m, n, step) {
  const d = (step || 1) * (n >= m ? 1 : -1);

  return Array.from({
    length: Math.floor((n - m) / d) + 1
  }, (_, i) => m + (i * d));
}
