An integer n>1 is abundant if the sum of its proper divisors is greater n. find the smallest abundant integer.

1 answer:

3 0

You can obviously skip over all the prime numbers. Take 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, etc.

4 only has two proper divisors: 1, 2
sum = 3

6 has three: 1, 2, 3
sum = 6

8 also has three: 1, 2, 4
sum = 7

10 has three: 1, 2, 5
sum = 8

12 has five: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
sum = 16

12 is the least abundant integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 US dollar = L123 Honduran Lempiras

L2300Honduran Lempiras = x ( Let $ be x)

By using chain rule, we get

5×2300 = 123×x

or, 11500 = 123x

or, x = 11500÷123

hence, x = 93.49593496
