Example of Primitive Abundant Number

$20$ is a primitive abundant number:

$1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 = 22 > 20$


Proof

From $\sigma_1$ of $20$, we have:

$\map {\sigma_1} {20} - 20 = 22$

where $\sigma_1$ denotes the divisor sum function.

Thus, by definition, $20$ is abundant number.


The aliquot parts of $20$ are enumerated at $\sigma_0$ of $20$:

$1, 2, 4, 5, 10$

By inspecting the divisor sum values of each of these, they are seen to be deficient.

Hence the result, by definition of primitive abundant number.
