Superperfecto

Being a generalization of a perfect number. For a given natural number k, a number n is called k-perfect (or k-fold perfect) iff the sum of all positive divisors of n (the divisor function, σ(n)) is equal to kn.

Examples :

"While 6 is a perfect number because the sum of its proper divisors (1, 2, and 3) equals 6, 12 is pluperfect because the sum of all its divisors (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12) is twice (24) itself. "

Siendo 6 un número perfecto porque la suma de sus divisores propios (1, 2 y 3) es igual a 6, 12 es superperfecto porque la suma de todos sus divisores (1, 2, 3, 4, 6 y 12) es el doble (24) de sí mismo.
