Is 238 a deficient number?

Here we will explain and calculate if 238 is a deficient number and its deficiency if applicable.

238 is a deficient number if the sum of its proper divisors is less than 238.

The sum of its proper divisors is calculated as follows: 1 + 2 + 7 + 14 + 17 + 34 + 119 = 194.

194 is less than 238. Therefore, 238 is a deficient number.

The deficiency of 238 is 238 minus the sum of its proper divisors. Thus, the deficiency of 238 is 238 - 194 = 44
