Quasiperfect Number


A quasiperfect number, called a "slightly excessive number" by Singh (1997), is a "least" abundant number, i.e., one such that

 sigma(n)=2n+1.

Quasiperfect numbers are therefore the sum of their nontrivial divisors. No quasiperfect numbers are known, although if any exist, they must be greater than 10^(35) and have seven or more distinct prime factors (Hagis and Cohen 1982).
