A perfect number is only classified as a perfect number because all of its proper divisors add up to itself. For example, the proper divisors of six are one, two and three. Those numbers added together equal six. Therefore, six is a perfect number.

Why is 16 a near perfect number?

A near-perfect number is one that is close to being a perfect one (obvi). So to find out if it's perfect or not (there are other terms, but that doesn't really matter right now), you add up it's divisors other than itself. So for example: 6 is a perfect number because 1+2+3+6. 16 1+2+4+8=15, so thus it is near-perfect. The four perfect numbers are 6, 28, 496, 8128

One is deficent


Is 75 perfect abundant or deficient?

A perfect number is one with factors (apart from itself) that sum to give the original number. An abundant number is one where this sum is greater than the original number. A deficient number is one where the sum is less than the original number. The factors of 75 are 1, 3, 5, 15 and 25. The sum of these numbers is 49. Thus 75 is a deficient number.
