Is 48 a deficient number?

Here we will explain and calculate if 48 is a deficient number and its deficiency if applicable.

48 is a deficient number if the sum of its proper divisors is less than 48.

The sum of its proper divisors is calculated as follows: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 24 = 76.

76 is not less than 48. Therefore, 48 is not a deficient number.

The deficiency of 48 is 48 minus the sum of its proper divisors. Thus, the deficiency of 48 is 48 - 76 = No Deficiency
