Contribution from Daniel Forgues (squid(AT)zensearch.com), May 09 2010: (Start)

Example:

120 = 2^3*3*5

sigma(120) = (2^4-1)/1*(3^2-1)/2*(5^2-1)/4

= (15)*(4)*(6)

= (3*5)*(2^2)*(2*3)

= 2^3*3^2*5

= (3) * (2^3*3*5)

= 3 * 120 (End)

Contribution from Daniel Forgues (squid(AT)zensearch.com), May 11 2010: (120, 672, 523776, 459818240, 1476304896 and 51001180160) are believed to comprise all sous-doubles. - cf. MathWorld. Six 3-perfect numbers are known - cf. The Multiply Perfect Numbers Page. Is there a proof that there are no other 3-perfect numbers?
