Is 972 a deficient number?

Here we will explain and calculate if 972 is a deficient number and its deficiency if applicable.

972 is a deficient number if the sum of its proper divisors is less than 972.

The sum of its proper divisors is calculated as follows: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 18 + 27 + 36 + 54 + 81 + 108 + 162 + 243 + 324 + 486 = 1576.

1576 is not less than 972. Therefore, 972 is not a deficient number.

The deficiency of 972 is 972 minus the sum of its proper divisors. Thus, the deficiency of 972 is 972 - 1576 = No Deficiency
