In number theory, a [[wp:weird number|weird number]] is a natural number that is [[wp:abundant number|abundant]] but ''not'' [[wp:semiperfect number|semiperfect]] (and
In other words, the sum of the [[wp:Divisor#Further_notions_and_facts|proper divisors]] of the number (divisors including 1 but not itself) is greater than the number itself (the number is ''abundant''), but no subset of those divisors sums to the number itself (the number is not ''semiperfect'').
Line 7:
* '''12''' is ''not'' a weird number.
** It is abundant; its proper divisors '''1, 2, 3, 4, 6''' sum to '''16'''
** but it ''is'' semiperfect, eg '''6 + 4 + 2 == 12'''.
* '''70''' ''is'' a weird number.
** It is abundant; its proper divisors '''1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35''' sum to '''74'''
** and there is no subset of proper divisors that sum to '''70'''.
