For example, 3 is a divisor of 21, since 21/7 = 3 (and therefore 7 is also a divisor of 21). If m is a divisor of n , then so is − m . The tables below only list positive divisors.
In number theory, a deficient number or defective number is a positive integer 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 sum) is less than n. For example, the proper divisors of 8 are 1, 2, and 4, and their sum is less than 8, so 8 is deficient.
The numbers that these two lists have in common are the common divisors of 54 and 24, that is, ,,, Of these, the greatest is 6, so it is the greatest common divisor: (,) = Computing all divisors of the two numbers in this way is usually not efficient, especially for large numbers that have many divisors.
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 numbers, perfect numbers, sociable numbers, deficient numbers, abundant numbers, and untouchable numbers, and to define the aliquot sequence of a number.
the last highly composite number that is a divisor of all following highly composite numbers. [5] palindromic in undecimal (1991 11) and a repdigit in bases 55, 59, and 62. a Harshad number in all bases between binary and hexadecimal. the aliquot sum of 1080. part of the 53-aliquot tree.
The greatest common divisor g of two nonzero numbers a and b is also their smallest positive integral linear combination, that is, the smallest positive number of the form ua + vb where u and v are integers. The set of all integral linear combinations of a and b is actually the same as the set of all multiples of g (mg, where m is an integer).
Zelinsky proved that no three consecutive integers can all be refactorable. [1] Colton proved that no refactorable number is perfect . The equation gcd ( n , x ) = τ ( n ) {\displaystyle \gcd(n,x)=\tau (n)} has solutions only if n {\displaystyle n} is a refactorable number, where gcd {\displaystyle \gcd } is the greatest common divisor function.
The meet operation is greatest common divisor while the join operation is least common multiple. [1] The prime numbers are precisely the atoms of the division lattice, namely those natural numbers divisible only by themselves and 1. [2] For any square-free number n, its divisors form a Boolean algebra that is a sublattice of the
