Mersenne-prime conjecture for odd redundant divisors
Mersenne-prime conjecture for odd redundant divisors
A positive integer is near-perfect if it is the sum of all its proper divisors except one proper divisor, called its redundant divisor. The number is even when it is divisible by , and a Mersenne prime is a prime of the form with prime. Mersenne-prime conjecture. If an even near-perfect number has an odd redundant divisor, then that redundant divisor is a Mersenne prime. This is presented as a conjecture and is used later as one of the hypotheses for an Euler-like theorem.
