(g) Numbers such as 6 and 28 are known as perfect numbers because they are
equal to the sum of their factors, excluding the number itself. For example, the
factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6 where 1  2  3  6 .

Consider the following statement:

“If p is a perfect number, then any positive integer multiple of p is also a

perfect number.”

(i) Use a counter-example to disprove the statement. 1

(ii) Suppose p  has factors { p1 , p2 , p3 ,..., pm , p} with 2

p1  p2  p3  ...  pm  p . Furthermore, let n  with n  pm .

Use a proof by contradiction to show that if p is a perfect number, then

np is not a perfect number.
