Yes it is. 6 is the first perfect number, 28 is the second perfect number.
by seeing what number comes before or after for example: 6 is greater then 5 because 5 comes before 6 therefore 6 is greater.
A perfect number is a number with factors (excluding itself) that add up to the original number. An abundant number is where this sum is greater than the original number. A deficient number is where the sum is less than the original number. In the case of 24, the factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24. Summing the factors (apart from 24) gives us 1+2+3+4+6+8+12 which equals 36. This is greater than 24, the original number, and so 24 is an abundant number.
No, it is not near a perfect number. The first four known perfect numbers are 6, 28, 496 and 8,128.
