d() is the number of positive divisors of n, including 1 and n itself; σ() is the sum of the positive divisors of n, including 1 and n itselfs() is the sum of the proper divisors of n, including 1 but not n itself; that is, s(n) = σ(n) − n
The divisors of n are all products of some or all prime factors of n (including the empty product 1 of no prime factors). The number of divisors can be computed by increasing all multiplicities by 1 and then multiplying them. Divisors and properties related to divisors are shown in table of divisors.
The entry 4+2i = −i(1+i) 2 (2+i), for example, could also be written as 4+2i= (1+i) 2 (1−2i). The entries in the table resolve this ambiguity by the following convention: the factors are primes in the right complex half plane with absolute value of the real part larger than or equal to the absolute value of the imaginary part.
For example, 6 is highly composite because d(6)=4 and d(n)=1,2,2,3,2 for n=1,2,3,4,5 respectively. A related concept is that of a largely composite number , a positive integer that has at least as many divisors as all smaller positive integers.
The smallest friendly number is 6, forming for example, the friendly pair 6 and 28 with abundancy σ(6) / 6 = (1+2+3+6) / 6 = 2, the same as σ(28) / 28 = (1+2+4+7+14+28) / 28 = 2. The shared value 2 is an integer in this case but not in many other cases. Numbers with abundancy 2 are also known as perfect numbers. There are several unsolved ...
This is true in the case of 6; 6's divisors are 1,2,3, and 6, but an abundant number is defined to be one where the sum of the divisors, excluding itself, is greater than the number itself; 1+2+3=6, so this condition is not met (and 6 is instead a perfect number). However all colossally abundant numbers are also superabundant numbers. [12]
Although the first eight factorials are highly abundant, not all factorials are highly abundant. For example, σ(9!) = σ(362880) = 1481040, but there is a smaller number with larger sum of 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.
