Abundant Number Test

Check whether a number is abundant: smaller than the sum of its proper divisors. Exact BigInt sigma computation with prime factorization, the odd abundant 945 included, batches up to 10,000. Free, runs in your browser.

Number(s)
Abundant exactly when sigma(n) > 2n - sigma computed from the prime factorization, BigInt-exact up to a trillion.

About Abundant Number Test

Twelve is the first number that cannot contain itself: its proper divisors 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 sum to 16, six more than twelve. Numbers with this overflow are abundant - profligate integers that owe more to their parts than they hold. The list grows fast: 12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 42, 48, 54, 56, 60... and it hides a famous surprise, the odd abundant 945, unnoticed by the ancients for the simple reason that they never looked past seventy.

Abundant Number Test factorizes any value up to a trillion by trial division, computes sigma(n) as the exact product (p^(e+1) - 1)/(p - 1), and returns the verdict from the sigma = 2n comparison - abundant, perfect or deficient - with factorization, proper-divisor sum and the excess amount on every row. Batches of 10,000 run in one pass, all inside the browser.

Features

  • Exact sigma: Divisor sums from prime factorizations, never estimated, BigInt throughout.
  • Three truthful verdicts: Abundant, perfect or deficient, decided by the sigma = 2n comparison.
  • Excess shown: Every abundant row carries the amount by which divisors beat the number.
  • Odd cases covered: 945 and all odd abundants classify under the same exact rule.
  • Batch testing: Up to 10,000 values per run, each with independent verdict and detail.
  • Trillion ceiling: Inputs of up to twelve digits are fully covered by the prime table.
  • Copy or download: Verdict list and numbers list, both one-click exports.
  • Reference tab: The opening abundances, the 945 story, the abundancy index.
  • Free and private: Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded or stored.

How to Use

  1. Enter numbers - one per line, or a batch separated by commas or spaces.
  2. Read the verdict badge - abundant, perfect, or deficient.
  3. See the sigma arithmetic - sigma, proper-divisor sum and the excess or deficit.
  4. Follow the factorization - the prime split that produces the sum.
  5. Copy or download the results for research, teaching or further analysis.

Examples

Example 1 - The opener. Enter 12. Divisors sum to 28, proper divisors to 16 - abundant by exactly 4, the first of the list.

Example 2 - The odd pioneer. Enter 945 = 3^3 x 5 x 7. Proper divisors sum to 975, beating 945 by 30 - the smallest odd abundant number, found as exactly as any even one.

Example 3 - The threshold. Enter 20 and 24. 20 is abundant by 2 (divisors 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 = 22); 24 is abundant by 12 - both rows report their excess.

Example 4 - The borderlines. Enter 28 and 16. 28 is perfect - sigma equals 2n; 16 is deficient, sigma 31 shortfalls to 15. The same comparison yields all three verdicts.

Example 5 - Batch audit. Paste 12, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, 36, 40, 42, 945 together: nine abundant badges and the perfect 28 in one pass, each with its excess.

Benefits

  • Proven verdicts: Every classification rests on exact sigma arithmetic, not lookup tables.
  • Excess in numbers: The overflow amount makes the abundant condition concrete on every row.
  • No parity bias: Odd abundants get the same honest treatment as even ones.
  • Threshold clarity: Perfect and deficient neighbors appear in the same comparison language.
  • Batch speed: Ten thousand candidates classified per run with per-line detail.
  • Private and free: Everything runs in the browser; nothing is uploaded, stored or logged.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an abundant number?
A positive integer whose proper divisors - the divisors smaller than itself - add up to more than the number: 12 has proper divisors 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16, and 16 exceeds 12. The list starts 12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 42, 48, 54, 56, 60...
How is the test performed here?
By computing sigma, the sum of all divisors, from the prime factorization: sigma(n) is the product over primes p of (p^(e+1) - 1)/(p - 1). The number is abundant exactly when sigma(n) is greater than 2n.
How is the factorization found?
Trial division by every prime up to one million - the square root ceiling for inputs up to a trillion. Values beyond 12 digits are rejected with a clear message.
What does the row show?
The verdict - abundant, perfect or deficient - the factorization, sigma(n), the proper-divisor sum, and the excess amount by which the divisors outrun the number.
Are there odd abundant numbers?
Yes. The smallest is 945 = 3^3 x 5 x 7, spotted by the Armenian mathematician Adam of Balsham. The tool classifies it exactly like any other input - no parity shortcuts.
Can I check a batch?
Yes. Paste up to 10,000 numbers separated by new lines, commas or spaces. Each value gets its own verdict line with factorization, sigma and classification.
How does abundant compare with perfect?
All three possibilities come from the same comparison: sigma(n) = 2n is perfect, under 2n is deficient, over 2n is abundant. This tool answers all three while spotlighting the abundant case.
Is anything stored or uploaded?
No. Factorization and sigma run entirely in the browser. Nothing is sent to a server, saved or logged. Copy or download before closing the tab.
