Presentation Transcript

  1. Weird Numbers Jason Holman • Mathematics • Number Theory • Computational Number Theory

  2. Types of number to be discussed • Abudnant • Deficient • Perfect • Pseudoperfect

  3. Abundant • An integer is abundant if the sum of its proper divisors (all except the number itself) is greater than the number • Examples • 18, 24

  4. Deficient • An integer is deficient if the sum of its proper divisors is less than the number • Examples • 35, 50, primes

  5. Perfect • An integer is perfect if the sum of its proper divisors is equal to the number • Examples • 6, 28

  6. Pseudoperfect • An integer is pseudoperfect if a subset of its proper divisors is equal to the number • Examples • 18, 24

  7. Definition of weird number • A number is weird if it is abundant but not pseudoperfect

  8. Examples of weird numbers • The first few weird numbers are 70, 836, 4030, 5830, 7192, 9272 • Example of how 70 is weird

  9. Big picture problem • No known odd weird numbers • The weird numbers known so far have been computed either manually or using a computer • It is believed that an equation would help find the answer to this problem, but one has not been found • So the answer to this problem currently relies on extremely tedious computations
