No, 12 is not a perfect number. It is abundant.
deficient
it is perfect i believe the factors are 1,2,4,7,and 14
First of all, to know if a number is abundant, deficient, or perfect, you need to know all the factors of your given number. The factors of 28 are 1,2,4,7,14, and 28. Add your proper factors -or the factors except itself- and determine if the sum of the proper factors is below (deficient), above (abundant), or the exact same amount (perfect). In this case, if you add the proper factors, it equals exactly 28. Because it is exact, it is perfect! =)
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.
