Descartes number
In number theory, a Descartes number is an odd number which would have been an odd perfect number, if one of its composite factors were prime. They are named after René Descartes who observed that the
Table of divisors
The tables below list all of the divisors of the numbers 1 to 1000. A divisor of an integer n is an integer m, for which n/m is again an integer (which is necessarily also a divisor of n). For example
Highly abundant number
In mathematics, a highly abundant number is a natural number with the property that the sum of its divisors (including itself) is greater than the sum of the divisors of any smaller natural number. Hi
Sociable number
In mathematics, sociable numbers are numbers whose aliquot sums form a periodic sequence. They are generalizations of the concepts of amicable numbers and perfect numbers. The first two sociable seque
Untouchable number
An untouchable number is a positive integer that cannot be expressed as the sum of all the proper divisors of any positive integer (including the untouchable number itself). That is, these numbers are
Hyperperfect number
In mathematics, a k-hyperperfect number is a natural number n for which the equality n = 1 + k(σ(n) − n − 1) holds, where σ(n) is the divisor function (i.e., the sum of all positive divisors of n). A
Aliquot sum
In number theory, the aliquot sum s(n) of a positive integer n is the sum of all proper divisors of n, that is, all divisors of n other than n itself.That is, It can be used to characterize the prime
Superabundant number
In mathematics, a superabundant number (sometimes abbreviated as SA) is a certain kind of natural number. A natural number n is called superabundant precisely when, for all m < n where σ denotes the s
Arithmetic number
In number theory, an arithmetic number is an integer for which the average of its positive divisors is also an integer. For instance, 6 is an arithmetic number because the average of its divisors is w
Weird number
In number theory, a weird number is a natural number that is abundant but not semiperfect. In other words, the sum of the proper divisors (divisors including 1 but not itself) of the number is greater
Amicable triple
In mathematics, an amicable triple is a set of three different numbers so related that the restricted sum of the divisors of each is equal to the sum of other two numbers. In another equivalent charac
Aliquot sequence
In mathematics, an aliquot sequence is a sequence of positive integers in which each term is the sum of the proper divisors of the previous term. If the sequence reaches the number 1, it ends, since t
Primitive abundant number
In mathematics a primitive abundant number is an abundant number whose proper divisors are all deficient numbers. For example, 20 is a primitive abundant number because: 1. * The sum of its proper di
Abundant number
In number theory, an abundant number or excessive number is a number for which the sum of its proper divisors is greater than the number. The integer 12 is the first abundant number. Its proper diviso
Betrothed numbers
Betrothed numbers or quasi-amicable numbers are two positive integers such that the sum of the proper divisors of either number is one more than the value of the other number. In other words, (m, n) a
Friendly number
In number theory, friendly numbers are two or more natural numbers with a common abundancy index, the ratio between the sum of divisors of a number and the number itself. Two numbers with the same "ab
Sublime number
In number theory, a sublime number is a positive integer which has a perfect number of positive factors (including itself), and whose positive factors add up to another perfect number. The number 12,
Multiply perfect number
In mathematics, a multiply perfect number (also called multiperfect number or pluperfect number) is a generalization of a perfect number. For a given natural number k, a number n is called k-perfect (
Quasiperfect number
In mathematics, a quasiperfect number is a natural number n for which the sum of all its divisors (the divisor function σ(n)) is equal to 2n + 1. Equivalently, n is the sum of its non-trivial divisors
Perfect number
In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its positive divisors, excluding the number itself. For instance, 6 has divisors 1, 2 and 3 (excluding itself), and
Amicable numbers
Amicable numbers are two different natural numbers related in such a way that the sum of the proper divisors of each is equal to the other number. That is, σ(a)=b and σ(b)=a, where σ(n) is equal to th
Colossally abundant number
In mathematics, a colossally abundant number (sometimes abbreviated as CA) is a natural number that, in a particular, rigorous sense, has many divisors. Formally, a number n is said to be colossally a
Harmonic divisor number
In mathematics, a harmonic divisor number, or Ore number (named after Øystein Ore who defined it in 1948), is a positive integer whose divisors have a harmonic mean that is an integer. The first few h
Almost perfect number
In mathematics, an almost perfect number (sometimes also called slightly defective or least deficient number) is a natural number n such that the sum of all divisors of n (the sum-of-divisors function
Superperfect number
In mathematics, a superperfect number is a positive integer n that satisfies where σ is the divisor summatory function. Superperfect numbers are a generalization of perfect numbers. The term was coine
Deficient number
In number theory, a deficient number or defective number is a number n for which the sum of divisors of n is less than 2n. Equivalently, it is a number for which the sum of proper divisors (or aliquot
Divisor function
In mathematics, and specifically in number theory, a divisor function is an arithmetic function related to the divisors of an integer. When referred to as the divisor function, it counts the number of
