An abundant number is a number whose proper divisors sum to a value greater than itself. For example, 36 has proper divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, which sum to 55, and \(55 > 36\). Contrast deficient numbers, whose proper divisors sum to a smaller value, and perfect numbers, whose proper divisors sum to themselves.

The first few abundant numbers are 12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 42, 48, ... Note that most of these appear to be even; the first odd one does not appear until 945. This is quite remarkable, as it provides a naturally occurring example of a large number. After 945, the odd-abundant numbers are 1,575, 2,205, 2,835, 3,465, ...[1]

There are also abundant numbers whose proper divisors have a sum greater than twice the original number. The smallest one is 180, but no odd ones occur until 1,018,976,683,725.

Notable examples[]

These are special odd-abundant numbers, such as:

  • 945 is the smallest odd-abundant number.[2]
    • 945 = 33*5*7, so the sum of all divisors of 945 (including itself) is (1+3+32+33)*(1+5)*(1+7) = 40*6*8 = 1,920, while 945*2=1,890<1,920. Therefore, 945 is an abundant number. By trial and error we can check it is also smallest odd number with this property.
