Is 15 an abundant number?
No, it is deficient.
Is 16 abundant or deficient or perfect?
Deficient The factors of 16 (excluding itself) are: 1, 2, 8 1+2+8=11 This is less than 16, therefore deficient.
Is 15 a deficient number?
Yes 15 is a deficient number because its factors add upp to less than the number itself,which is 15.
How do you show 9 as a deficient number?
Deficient number From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIn mathematics, a deficient number or defective number is a number n for which σ(n) < 2n. Here σ(n) is the sum-of-divisors function: the sum of all positive divisors of n, including nitself. An equivalent definition is that the sum of all proper divisors of the number (divisors other than the number itself) is less than the number. The value 2n − σ(n) is called the deficiency of n.The first few deficient numbers are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, … (sequence A005100 in OEIS)As an example, consider the number 21. Its divisors are 1, 3, 7 and 21, and their sum is 32. Because 32 is less than 2 × 21, the number 21 is deficient. Its deficiency is 2 × 21 − 32 = 10.An infinite number of both even and odd deficient numbers exist. For example, all odd numbers with one or two distinct prime factors, and all proper divisors of deficient or perfect numbers are deficient.Closely related to deficient numbers are perfect numbers with σ(n) = 2n, and abundant numbers with σ(n) > 2n. The natural numbers were first classified as either deficient, perfect or abundant byNicomachus in his Introductio Arithmetica (circa 100).
Is the square root of a15 a rational number?
No, because 15 is not a perfect square. The closest perfect square is 16, whose square root is 4.
