d is the number of positive divisors of n, including 1 and n itself; σ is the sum of the positive divisors of n, including 1 and n itself; s is the sum of the proper divisors of n, including 1 but not n itself; that is, s(n) = σ(n) − n; a deficient number is greater than the sum of its proper divisors; that is, s(n) < n
the k given prime numbers p i must be precisely the first k prime numbers (2, 3, 5, ...); if not, we could replace one of the given primes by a smaller prime, and thus obtain a smaller number than n with the same number of divisors (for instance 10 = 2 × 5 may be replaced with 6 = 2 × 3; both have four divisors);
Divisor function σ 0 (n) up to n = 250 Sigma function σ 1 (n) up to n = 250 Sum of the squares of divisors, σ 2 (n), up to n = 250 Sum of cubes of divisors, σ 3 (n) up to n = 250. In mathematics, and specifically in number theory, a divisor function is an arithmetic function related to the divisors of an integer.
In mathematics, Hooley's delta function (()), also called Erdős--Hooley delta-function, defines the maximum number of divisors of in [,] for all , where is the Euler's number. The first few terms of this sequence are
The above definition is unsuitable for defining gcd(0, 0), since there is no greatest integer n such that 0 × n = 0. However, zero is its own greatest divisor if greatest is understood in the context of the divisibility relation, so gcd(0, 0) is commonly defined as 0.
The divisors of 10 illustrated with Cuisenaire rods: 1, 2, 5, and 10 In mathematics , a divisor of an integer n , {\displaystyle n,} also called a factor of n , {\displaystyle n,} is an integer m {\displaystyle m} that may be multiplied by some integer to produce n . {\displaystyle n.} [ 1 ] In this case, one also says that n {\displaystyle n ...
In abstract algebra, the concept of a maximal common divisor is needed to generalize greatest common divisors to number systems in which the common divisors of a set of elements may have more than one maximal element. In computational geometry, the maxima of a point set are maximal with respect to the partial order of coordinatewise domination.
The abundancy index of n is the ratio σ(n)/n. [7] Distinct numbers n 1, n 2, ... (whether abundant or not) with the same abundancy index are called friendly numbers. The sequence (a k) of least numbers n such that σ(n) > kn, in which a 2 = 12 corresponds to the first abundant number, grows very quickly (sequence A134716 in the OEIS).
