Arithmetic number
Appearance
In mathematics, an arithmetic number is an integer for which the arithmetic mean of its positive divisors, is an integer. It is known that the natural density of such numbers is 1:[1] indeed, the proportion of numbers less than X which are not arithmetic is asymptotically[2]
where c = 2 √ log 2 + o(1).
