Factorization

In mathematics, a quasiperfect number is a natural number n for which the sum of all its divisors (the divisor function σ(n)) is equal to 2n + 1. Quasiperfect numbers are abundant numbers.

No quasiperfect numbers have been found so far, but if a quasiperfect number exists, it must be an odd square number greater than 1035 and have at least seven distinct prime factors. [1]
