multiply perfect number  

Definition

  • In mathematics, a multiply perfect number (also called multiperfect number or pluperfect number) is a generalization of a perfect number.
    For a given natural number k, a number n is called k-perfect (or k-fold perfect) if the sum of all positive divisors of n (the divisor function, σ(n)) is equal to kn; a number is thus perfect if and only if it is 2-perfect. A number that is k-perfect for a certain k is called a multiply perfect number. As of 2014, k-perfect numbers are known for each value of k up to 11.
