An abundant number is a number 
for which the sum of its proper divisors is greater than itself. For example, 12 is abundant because the sum of its proper divisors is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16 > 12.
Examples
The first 10 abundant numbers are:
12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 42, 48, 54,...
The first 10 odd abundant numbers are:
945, 1575, 2205, 2835, 3465, 4095, 4725, 5355, 5775, 5985,...
Properties
There are infinitely many abundant numbers.
Every positive multiple of an abundant number is an abundant number.
Every multiple of a perfect number greater than itself is an abundant number.
