A property of weird numbers is that if n is weird, and p is a prime greater than the sum of divisors σ(n), then pn is also weird. [4] This leads to the definition of primitive weird numbers: weird numbers that are not a multiple of other weird numbers (sequence A002975 in the OEIS). Among the 1765 weird numbers less than one million, there are ...

Numbers very close to, but below one are often expressed in "nines" (N – not to be confused with the unit newton), that is in the number of nines following the decimal separator in writing the number in question. For example, "three nines" or "3N" indicates 0.999 or 99.9%, "four nines five" or "4N5" is the expression for the number 0.99995 or ...
