perfect number

[lament brook]

what does he means?

[maiden tundra]

What are you talking about? You circled an entire paragraph.

[lament brook]

what is this formula for?

[patent dune]

formula for triangular no. ig

T (x) = x(x+1)/2

[lament brook]

what

is there consecutive series for perfect numbers?

[lament brook]

does this help me with that?

[patent dune]

well trianglular no. for n = n (n+1)/2

which is also sum of 1,2 , 3 , 4 ... n

[lament brook]

I don't understand you

[patent dune]

when u put (2^p -1) at the place of n u get this thing

[patent dune]

its a formula

thats what gee told me

[lament brook]

[patent dune]

anyways @charred fern

whats triangular no?

[maiden tundra]

...even perfect numbers, like it... literally says?

[lament brook]

huh?

[patent dune]

wait isnt T representing triangular no. huh?

[maiden tundra]

Literally the text above the formula says "Even perfect numbers (except 6) are of the form".

[lament brook]

ok, but why this formula

what you use it for

[maiden tundra]

Because that's the formula for the even perfect numbers.

[maiden tundra]

Generating even perfect numbers.

[lament brook]

can you give me example?

[maiden tundra]

What do you mean, an example?

[lament brook]

using formula

[patent dune]

@lament brook whats the fromula for 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ... + n ?

[lament brook]

n(n+1)/2

but this is not what I need ..

[maiden tundra]

Dude, it's not that hard. Pick a p.

[patent dune]

well so T (x) here is representing 1 + 2 + 3 + ...........+ x

[maiden tundra]

Is it???

That's not what it says it's representing!!!

And that's not what the formula that's literally written there describes!

[patent dune]

theres written triangular number

[maiden tundra]

Where?

[patent dune]

now whats 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 +7

thats 28

so triangular number (x) = 1 + 2 + 3 + .... + x

[maiden tundra]

But that's not the formula for triangular numbers, though.

[patent dune]

idk gee told me it is

[maiden tundra]

You know what the formula for triangular numbers is. You know it's not that.

[patent dune]

i dont know the formula for trangular no

[lament brook]

I still don't understand. I don't understand english very well so I don't know what should I put to generate a perfect number. what I know perfect number is 2^(n-1)*(2^n - 1) but it not everything you put on it will be perfect number

[maiden tundra]

...no, a perfect number isn't 2^(n - 1) * (2^n - 1), according to the formula you are literally given.

[maiden tundra]

...okay???

[lament brook]

I want those numbers

is there consecutive series for those

[lament brook]

does that help me?

[maiden tundra]

They're... the prime numbers...

[lament brook]

uhhh

but not every prime number give a perfect number

[maiden tundra]

Okay???

[lament brook]

so, is there a way? to get the "n"

[maiden tundra]

I don't know.

[lament brook]

ok, Ty

[patent dune]

wait i am thinking
