Example of a Weird Number
$4030$ is a weird number:
The aliquot sum of $4030$ is $4034$, but no subset of its aliquot parts add to $4030$.
Proof
From $\sigma_1$ of $4030$:
- $\map {\sigma_1} {4030} = 8064$
where $\map {\sigma_1} {4030}$ denotes the divisor sum function.
The aliquot sum of $4030$ is given by:
- $\map {\sigma_1} {4030} - 4030 = 8064 - 4030 = 4034$
The aliquot parts of $4030$ are found in $\sigma_0$ of $4030$:
- $1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 26, 31, 62, 65, 130, 155, 310, 403, 806, 2015$
Note that $4$ is not an aliquot part of $4030$, and cannot be made from the aliquot parts of $4030$.
Thus $4030 = 4034 - 4$ cannot be made by any combination of those aliquot parts.
Hence the result.
