Also called panarithmic numbers. %C A005153 Equivalently, numbers n such that every number k <= n is a sum of distinct divisors of n. %C A005153 2^r is a member for all r as every number < = sigma(2^r) = 2^(r+1)-1 is a sum of a distinct subset of divisors {1,2,2^2,...2^n}. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 23 2004 %C A005153 Also, numbers n such that A030057(n) > n. This is a consequence of the following lemma, found at the McLeman link: An integer m >= 2 with factorization Product_{i=1}^k p_i^e_i with the p_i in ascending order is practical if and only if p_1 = 2 and, for 1 < i <= k, p_i <= sigma(Product_{j < i} p_j^e_j) + 1. - Franklin T.
