Abundant Number

An abundant number is an Integer which is not a Perfect Number and for which

where

is the Divisor Function. The quantity

is sometimes called the Abundance.The first few abundant numbers are 12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, ... (Sloane's A005101). Abundant numbers are sometimescalled Excessive Numbers.

There are only 21 abundant numbers less than 100, and they are all Even. The first Odd abundant number is

That 945 is abundant can be seen by computing

(3)

Any multiple of a Perfect Number or an abundant number is also abundant. Every number greater than 20161 can beexpressed as a sum of two abundant numbers.

A number which is abundant but for which all its Proper Divisors are Deficient is called a Primitive Abundant Number (Guy 1994, p. 46).
