a prime number has only 1 and itself as divisors; that is, d(n) = 2; a composite number has more than just 1 and itself as divisors; that is, d(n) > 2; a highly composite number has a number of positive divisors that is greater than any lesser number; that is, d(n) > d(m) for every positive integer m < n.
A highly composite number is a positive integer that has more divisors than all smaller positive integers. If d(n) denotes the number of divisors of a positive integer n, then a positive integer N is highly composite if d(N) > d(n) for all n < N. For example, 6 is highly composite because d(6)=4 and d(n)=1,2,2,3,2 for n=1,2,3,4,5 respectively.
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
A positive divisor of that is different from is called a proper divisor or an aliquot part of (for example, the proper divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3). A number that does not evenly divide but leaves a remainder is sometimes called an aliquant part of . An integer > whose only proper divisor is 1 is called a prime number. Equivalently, a prime ...
The first 15 superior highly composite numbers, 2, 6, 12, 60, 120, 360, 2520, 5040, 55440, 720720, 1441440, 4324320, 21621600, 367567200, 6983776800 (sequence A002201 in the OEIS) are also the first 15 colossally abundant numbers, which meet a similar condition based on the sum-of-divisors function rather than the number of divisors. Neither ...
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.
In order to better enforce anti-spam policies, AOL does not disclose the number of recipients or emails that can be sent at one time. If you've received a notification that a limit has been met, you'll need to wait a set amount of time before you can send more emails. Most sending limit notifications inform you of how long you'll have to wait.
A perfect power has a common divisor m > 1 for all multiplicities (it is of the form a m for some a > 1 and m > 1). The first: 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 32, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 (sequence A001597 in the OEIS). 1 is sometimes included. A powerful number (also called squareful) has multiplicity above 1 for all prime
