The topic of anti-perfect numbers has everything to do with anti-divisors with parallels to perfect numbers and divisors. Let's recall that a perfect number is a number whose sum of proper divisors equals the number. The first perfect number is 6 and it is perfect because its proper divisors of 1, 2 and 3 add to 6. Similarly, an anti-perfect number is a number whose sum of anti-divisors equals the number. The first anti-perfect number is 5 because its anti-divisors of 2 and 3 add to 5.
Now I've written about anti-divisors before in two posts, one titled Anti-divisors on February 26th 2015 and another titled More on Anti-divisors on February 28th 2021. Today, my diurnal age is 27024 and this number has anti-divisors of 7, 32, 49, 96, 1103, 7721 and 18016. The sum of these anti-divisors is 27024 and so 27024 is an anti-perfect number. Like the perfect numbers, these anti-perfect numbers are few and far between. They constitute OEIS A073930:
A073930 | Numbers that are equal to the sum of their anti-divisors. |
