Practical number
In number theory, a practical number or panarithmic number〔 cites and for the name "panarithmic numbers".〕 is a positive integer ''n'' such that all smaller positive integers can be represented as sums of distinct divisors of ''n''. For example, 12 is a practical number because all the numbers from 1 to 11 can be expressed as sums of its divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6: as well as these divisors themselves, we have 5 = 3 + 2, 7 = 6 + 1, 8 = 6 + 2, 9 = 6 + 3, 10 = 6 + 3 + 1, and 11 = 6 + 3 + 2.
The sequence of practical numbers begins
:1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 36, 40, 42, 48, 54, 56, 60, 64, 66, 72, 78, 80, 84, 88, 90, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, 120, 126, 128, 132, 140, 144, 150....
Practical numbers were used by Fibonacci in his Liber Abaci (1202) in connection with the problem of representing rational numbers as Egyptian fractions. Fibonacci does not formally define practical numbers, but he gives a table of Egyptian fraction expansions for fractions with practical denominators.〔.〕
The name "practical number" is due to , who first attempted a classification of these numbers that was completed by and . This characterization makes it possible to determine whether a number is practical by examining its prime factorization. Every even perfect number and every power of two is also a practical number.
Practical numbers have also been shown to be analogous with prime numbers in many of their properties.〔; ; ; .〕
==Characterization of practical numbers==
As and showed, it is straightforward to determine whether a number is practical from its prime factorization.
A positive integer n=p_1^...p_k^ with n>1 and primes p_1 is practical if and only if p_1=2 and, for every ''i'' from 2 to ''k'',
:p_i\leq1+\sigma(p_1^\dots p_^^\frac,
where \sigma(x) denotes the sum of the divisors of ''x''. For example, 3 ≤ σ(2)+1 = 4, 29 ≤ σ(2 × 32)+1 = 40, and 823 ≤ σ(2 × 32 × 29)+1=1171, so 2 × 32 × 29 × 823 = 429606 is practical. This characterization extends a partial classification of the practical numbers given by .
It is not difficult to prove that this condition is necessary and sufficient for a number to be practical. In one direction, this condition is clearly necessary in order to be able to represent p_i-1 as a sum of divisors of ''n''. In the other direction, the condition is sufficient, as can be shown by induction. More strongly, one can show that, if the factorization of ''n'' satisfies the condition above, then any m \le \sigma(n) can be represented as a sum of divisors of ''n'', by the following sequence of steps:
* Let q = \min\)\}, and let r = m - qp_k^.
* Since q\le\sigma(n/p_k^) and n/p_k^ can be shown by induction to be practical, we can find a representation of ''q'' as a sum of divisors of n/p_k^.
* Since r\le \sigma(n) - p_k^\sigma(n/p_k^) = \sigma(n/p_k), and since n/p_k can be shown by induction to be practical, we can find a representation of ''r'' as a sum of divisors of n/p_k.
* The divisors representing ''r'', together with p_k^ times each of the divisors representing ''q'', together form a representation of ''m'' as a sum of divisors of ''n''.
