Key To The Tables
- d(n) is the number of positive divisors of n, including 1 and n itself
- σ(n) is the sum of all the positive divisors of n, including 1 and n itself
- s(n) is the sum of the proper divisors of n, which does not include n itself; that is, s(n) = σ(n) − n
- a perfect number equals the sum of its proper divisors; that is, s(n) = n; the only perfect numbers between 1 and 1000 are 6, 28 and 496
- amicable numbers and sociable numbers are numbers where the sum of their proper divisors form a cycle; the only examples below 1000 are 220 and 284
- a deficient number is greater than the sum of its proper divisors; that is, s(n) < n
- an abundant number is less than the sum of its proper divisors; that is, s(n) > n
- a prime number has only 1 and itself as divisors; that is, d(n) = 2. Prime numbers are always deficient as s(n)=1

Famous quotes containing the words key to the, key to, key and/or tables:
“The key to the age may be this, or that, or the other, as the young orators describe; the key to all ages is—Imbecility: imbecility in the vast majority of men, at all times, and even in heroes, in all but certain eminent moments: victims of gravity, customs and fear. This gives force to the strong,—that the multitude have no habit of self-reliance or original action.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key ... and bolt the door at once.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The key word in my plays is “perhaps.””
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
Loved the wood rose, and left it on its stalk?
At rich men’s tables eaten bread and pulse?
Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
