An Abundant number is any number where the sum of its proper divisors is greater than the original number. For example, the proper divisors of 12 are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6

And summing these results in 16. Since 16 is larger than 12, 12 is abundant. Note that this does not include "Perfect numbers", e.g. numbers that are equal to the sum of its proper divisors, such as 6 and 28.

Your task for today is to write a program or function that determines if a number is abundant or not. Your program should take a single integer as input, and output a truthy/falsy value depending on whether it is abundant or not. You can assume that the input will always be valid and greater than 0, so for bad inputs, undefined behavior is fine.

You may take your input and output in any reasonable format, for example STDIN/STDOUT, files, or arguments/return values would all be acceptable.

For reference, here are the abundant numbers up to 100:

12,
18,
20,
24,
30,
36,
40,
42,
48,
54,
56,
60,
66,
70,
72,
78,
80,
84,
88,
90,
96,
100

And more can be found on A005101

Since this is , standard loopholes are denied, and try to write the shortest possible code you can in whichever language you happen to choose!

    \$\begingroup\$ Welcome to the site! I think you could save some bytes by taking input from function arguments, rather than implementing main with scanf. For example int f(int s,int x){while(++i<x)s+=x%i^0?0:i;return s>x;} Also, I'm not an expert at C golfing, but I think some compilers default to int functions with int arguments, so you could do f(s,x){while(++i<x)s+=x%i^0?0:i;return s>x;}, but you'd have to find the right compiler and test it first. \$\endgroup\$

Java 7, 69 68 bytes

Object c(int n){int s=0,i=1;for(;++i<=n/2;s+=n%i<1?i:0);return s>n;}

Explanation:

Object c(int n){                       // Boolean method with integer parameter
   int s = 0,                          // sum initialization
       i = 1;                          // counter initialization (starts at 2: i=1 and ++i becomes i=2)
   for(; ++i <= n/2; s += n % i < 1    // loop while (i <= n/2)
                           ? i         //   if (n % i == 0)
                           : 0);       //     r = r + i
   return s > n;                       // return sum > input
 }

Test code:

Try it here.

class M{
  static Object c(int n){int s=0,i=1;for(;++i<=n/2;s+=n%i<1?i:0);return s>n;}
  
  public static void main(String[] a){
    for(int i = 0; i <= 100; i++){
      System.out.print(i+": "+c(i) + ";  ");
    }
  }
}

Output:

Racket, 46 bytes

That's 46 bytes including the (require math).

(λ(n)(>(-(sum(divisors n))n)n))

The function produces booleans.

Try it online!

It's pretty simple, uses the divisors function to produce a list of all divisors of n. Since the list includes n itself, we need to remove it after summing.

  • \$\begingroup\$ No problem. Usually, one counts everything the function or program truly needs -- excluding boiler code only written for testing. However, on edge cases one sometimes has to resort to the current consensus -- written and talked about on meta. In practice, you will often be notified by comment if someone disagrees with your byte count. \$\endgroup\$ Jan 23, 2019 at 22:25

TI-BASIC (TI-84), 23 bytes

:2Ans<sum(seq(Ans/Xnot(remainder(Ans,X)),X,1,Ans,1

This answer is very similar to my answer here.
Input is in Ans.
Output is in Ans and is automatically printed out when the program completes.

Explanation:
(TI-BASIC doesn't have comments, so just assume that ; makes a comment)

:2Ans=sum(seq(Ans/Xnot(remainder(Ans,X)),X,1,Ans    ;Full program

 2Ans                                               ;double the input
          seq(                                      ;generate a list
                                         X,          ;using the variable X,
                                           1,        ;starting at 1,
                                             Ans     ;and ending at the input
                                                     ;with an implied increment of 1
              Ans/X                                 ;from the input divided by X
                   not(                ),           ;multiplied by the negated result of
                       remainder(Ans,X)              ;the input modulo X
                                                     ;(result: 0 or 1)
      sum(                                          ;sum up the elements in the list
     <                                              ;is the sum greater than double the input?

Example:

12
           12
prgmCDGF4
            1
6
            6
prgmCDGF4
            0

Note: The byte count of a program is evaluated using the value in [MEM]>[2]>[7] (36 bytes) then subtracting the length of the program's name, CDGF2, (5 bytes) and an extra 8 bytes used for storing the program:

36 - 5 - 8 = 23 bytes

TI-BASIC, 21 bytes

seq(I,I,1,A-1
A<sum(Ansnot(fpart(A/Ans

TI-BASIC usually has a builtin for this kind of thing, but nothing fits that well here. Takes input from the A variable and outputs 1 or 0 if the number is or isn't abundant.

seq( generates a list of numbers from a function. Here it executes the function I on the I variable from one to one less than the input. Then working backward from the next line, we divide our input by the list we generated (stored in Ans) and take the fractional part so we have a new list of remainders for each potential divisor. We then build a list of booleans by taking not( on the remainder list and multiply that by the original list in Ans implicitly to get a list of proper divisors. Then we just sum the list of proper divisors and compare that to the input.

This was 24 bytes, golfed down to 21 using not( instead of *(0=
