The three perfect numbers under 500 are 6, 28, and 496. A perfect number is defined as a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors, excluding itself. For example, the divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3, which sum to 6; for 28, the divisors are 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14, summing to 28; and for 496, the divisors are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, and 248, which also sum to 496.
Perfect squares are the result of multiplying integers by themselves: 1 x 1 = 1 2 x 2 = 4 3 x 3 = 9 etc. The perfect squares, above, are the numbers to the right of the equal sign, so just continue until you pass the number 500.
To find the perfect cubes from 1 to 500, we identify the integers whose cubes are less than or equal to 500. The perfect cubes in this range are (1^3 = 1), (2^3 = 8), (3^3 = 27), (4^3 = 64), (5^3 = 125), (6^3 = 216), and (7^3 = 343). The next integer, (8^3 = 512), exceeds 500. Therefore, there are a total of 7 perfect cubes from 1 to 500.
You'll need five. 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 500
No.First of all, you can't write negative numbers as sums of perfect squares at all - since all perfect squares are positive.Second, for natural numbers (1, 2, 3...) you may need up to 4 perfect squares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_four-square_theoremNo.First of all, you can't write negative numbers as sums of perfect squares at all - since all perfect squares are positive.Second, for natural numbers (1, 2, 3...) you may need up to 4 perfect squares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_four-square_theoremNo.First of all, you can't write negative numbers as sums of perfect squares at all - since all perfect squares are positive.Second, for natural numbers (1, 2, 3...) you may need up to 4 perfect squares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_four-square_theoremNo.First of all, you can't write negative numbers as sums of perfect squares at all - since all perfect squares are positive.Second, for natural numbers (1, 2, 3...) you may need up to 4 perfect squares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_four-square_theorem

There are 417 of them and it would take too long to list them all. You could draw up a list of all 500 numbers and then delete each multiple of 6. There are 83 of them.
There are 232 numbers between 1 and 500 that are divisible by 3 or 5.
No.

No, the natural numbers are not closed under division. For example, 2 and 3 are natural numbers, but 2/3 is not.
The sum of the first 500 positive integers is: 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 498 + 499 + 500 = 125250
