Is 248 a deficient number?

Here we will explain and calculate if 248 is a deficient number and its deficiency if applicable.

248 is a deficient number if the sum of its proper divisors is less than 248.

The sum of its proper divisors is calculated as follows: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 31 + 62 + 124 = 232.

232 is less than 248. Therefore, 248 is a deficient number.

The deficiency of 248 is 248 minus the sum of its proper divisors. Thus, the deficiency of 248 is 248 - 232 = 16
