Abundancy

This article page is a stub, please help by expanding it.

The abundancy of a positive integer

n

is defined as

abundancy (n) := σ (n) n  ,

where

σ (n)

is the sum of divisors of

n

.

Since

σ (n) n  =  ∑ d ∣n d ∣n d n  =    d ∣n ∑   d ∣n    d  n   ,

an equivalent definition is

abundancy (n) := σ − 1(n)  =    d ∣n ∑   d ∣n    d   − 1.

Abundant numbers are numbers with abundancy greater than 2, perfect numbers are numbers with abundancy equal to 2 and deficient numbers are numbers with abundancy less than 2.

When the abundancy of a positive integer

n

is a positive integer

k n, k   ≥   1,

we have a

k

-perfect number, 1 being the only 1-perfect number.
