Is 252 a deficient number?

Here we will explain and calculate if 252 is a deficient number and its deficiency if applicable.

252 is a deficient number if the sum of its proper divisors is less than 252.

The sum of its proper divisors is calculated as follows: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 9 + 12 + 14 + 18 + 21 + 28 + 36 + 42 + 63 + 84 + 126 = 476.

476 is not less than 252. Therefore, 252 is not a deficient number.

The deficiency of 252 is 252 minus the sum of its proper divisors. Thus, the deficiency of 252 is 252 - 476 = No Deficiency
