To find out if a number is abundant, perfect or deficient, you first need to split it into its prime factors:

34 = 2x17

The next step would be to find any combinations, but as we have only 2 prime factors, those are the two we'll work with.

You add these together, with 1, and get 20.

When this sums to less than the original number it's a deficient number. 20 is less than 34, and so 34 is a deficient number.
