an abundant number is less than the sum of its proper divisors
An abundant number means its proper factors add up to more than that number.
Probably, but that's not the reason. An abundant number is less than the sum of its proper factors.
Abundant is a number for which the sum of all its proper factors is greater than the number itself. Deficient is a number for which the sum of all its proper factors is less than the number itself. Perfect is a number for which the sum of all its proper factors is the number itself.
Ten is not abundant because the sum of its proper factors is less than itself.
Since the sum of the proper factors of 87 is only 33, 87 is not an abundant number.
an abundant number is less than the sum of its proper divisors
Yes, the number 16 is an abundant number because the sum of its proper divisors (1, 2, and 4) is greater than the number itself (16).
In number theory, an abundant number is a number for which the sum of its proper divisors is greater than the number itself.
There are three equivalent definitions for an abundant number.A number is abundant if:the sum of all its factors (including itself) is more than double the number;the sum of all factors of the number which are smaller than the number, must be more than the number;the sum of all proper factors of the number must be at least as large as the number.
Those numbers are called abundant.
First of all, to know if a number is abundant, deficient, or perfect, you need to know all the factors of your given number. The factors of 28 are 1,2,4,7,14, and 28. Add your proper factors -or the factors except itself- and determine if the sum of the proper factors is below (deficient), above (abundant), or the exact same amount (perfect). In this case, if you add the proper factors, it equals exactly 28. Because it is exact, it is perfect! =)
Fifth grade homework is tough...the answer is abundant. Proper factors that total less than the number is deficient and proper factors that equal the number are perfect. Signed CMT of Bourne Middle School.
