Hey Don. Hey Modest.
Just thought I'd pop in with some tid-bits I'm somewhat familiar with.
When I saw the summing of Perfect factors here, I recalled that the sum of the reciprocals of the proper factors of a Perfect number equals 2 (including the reciprocal of the number itself). Do you guys recall that? Does it shed any light on the discussion?
e.g. >>
When I saw Modest mention 30 satisfying some of Don's criteria, I recalled that it is one of my "Strange" numbers, which is to say it is abundant by 12. Again, I don't know if any of that forwards this conversation.
So I'm not too up on the logarithms but I have been reading all the posts here and maybe some of it will sink in.
If we need them, we have threads on Perfect numbers and the Strange numbers.
