Perfect primes are primes with only 1 divisor
using (2^(p-1))((2^p)-1) and setting p as 0 and 1would yield 0 and 1.
0 is the first even perfect prime number.
1 is the only odd perfect prime number.
continuing it would yield the rest of the perfect numbers, so wouldn't 0 and 1 be perfect numbers according to the equation without the exclusion? if the conjecture was if and only if it only has 1 divisor it is then perfect by definition. if the rule was set by man and not by math would that not break the entire case of mathematics being self-governing? Share your thoughts so I can feed my curiosity.

Perfect number is a number who's divisor is its sum.
Prime number is a number who's divisor is one and itself or two numbers.
So by observation. A perfect prime number would be a number who's only divisor is itself .
So 0 and 1 are perfect prime numbers.

Boy I love math

what's nonsense?
1 is divisible by 1 and itself so prime number.
1 is also a sum of 1 so perfect number
therefore perfect prime number
I guess 0 isn't prime since you can't divide it by 1
So maybe 0 is just a perfect number since adding 0 is just 0
Not sure what you mean by nonsense since they already built an entire equation for it
2^(p-1) * (2^p -1) and if you put the values in they really do make 0 and 1 as perfect numbers.

>>17038192
0 doesn't have only one divisor.
It has only one non-divisor. Literally every number divides 0 except for 0 itself.
>stop taking the schizo thread seriously!
also 1 isn't prime either, because it's a unit, but that's somehow the less egregious thing going on here
>>
>>17038198
>0 doesn't have only one divisor.

I guess zero is nothing then neither prime nor perfect.
Why would zero not divide by zero? wouldn't that just be one since it divides by itself?
>also 1 isn't prime either, because it's a unit, but that's somehow the less egregious thing going on here
Then 1 is a super perfect prime because it only has 1 as its divisor.
>>
>>17038192
See >>17038163

>>17038202
Any number divided by itself = 1
0 divided by any number = 0
Any number divided by zero is undefined.

When you don't understand the foundations this just becomes a game of which "rule" takes priority. For the purposes of this discussion, the "no division by zero" always takes priority over any other rule at play.
>>
>>17038242
None of this matters; the divisors of a perfect number don't sum to it.
>>
>>17038242
Then would zero divided by zero be undefined or also zero? what rules are there in math? did someone just come up with it?
>>
>>17038243
What do you mean it does not sum to it? Does 1 not add up as 1 by itself?

>>
>>17038244
9 times out of 10, we're operating under ZFC set theory. Search that term up and you'll find pretty much all the foundational rules of modern math that most people follow.
>>
>>17038255
It does do that. Perfect number adds up to two times divisors.
>>
>>17038257
Perfect number has nothing to do with ZFC
>>
>>17038259
That wasn't the point I was responding to.
(And technically it depends on your definition of "having to do with" but that's semantics)
>>
>>17038260
How does ZFC have anything "technical" to do with what a perfect number is? (Note that by intentionally adding the C to ZF, you've constrained the answer to be dependent on that axiom.)
>>
>>17038264
>by intentionally adding the C to ZF, you've constrained the answer to be dependent on that axiom
Incorrect. Your premise is flawed. Inclusion of the axiom of choice makes the statement more inclusive, not exclusive.
Evoking a system which includes the axiom of choice need not imply the thing I'm applying it to pertains to the axiom of choice.

To answer your original question: the set of perfect numbers has to do with set theory in the sense that it is a set.
>>
>>17038268
Nope, specifying ZFC implies something about C, specifically; it's like ordering an "ice cream cone"
>the set of perfect numbers has to do with set theory in the sense that it is a set.
How is the ability to choose exactly one element from the set of perfect numbers germane to its construction?
>>
>>17038258
Is that technically the proof for what perfect numbers are? Why would an equation exist just to exclude what it tries to find?
>>
>>17038277
Exclude what?
>>

>To answer your original question: the set of perfect numbers has to do with set theory in the sense that it is a set.
Does the equation define the set entirely?
>>
>>17038280
>Exclude what?
0 and 1 as perfect numbers p_0 and p_1.
>>
>>17038274
>specifying ZFC implies something about C, specifically; it's like ordering an "ice cream cone"
Wrong. You are imposing an arbitrary rule of language that only exists in your own mind.
What I was doing was more like evoking UFC rules in a fighting competition and you're sperging about the rule in question also being in place in other combat leagues.

...and dividing 1 means that it is a unit and thus not prime.
>>
>>17038289
What's the sum of 1? It's 1. Two times 1 is 2. So 1 can't be perfect number.
>>
>>17038290
>...and dividing 1 means that it is a unit and thus not prime.
What would a unit mean in this context? Is it that it itself is the number that calls for units?
>>
>>17038295
a unit is anything which you can multiply by something to get 1. or, equivalently, something which divides 1
in the naturals 1 is the only unit
in the integers -1 is also a unit
in the rationals, everything but 0 is a unit
>>
>>17038292
>What's the sum of 1? It's 1. Two times 1 is 2. So 1 can't be perfect number.
So it has to be multiplied by 2? Then how is 6 a perfect number if 12 times 2 is 24?
>>
>>17038300
What are the divisors of 6?
>>
>>17038292
I don't think 2 is a divisor of 1

>>
>>17038302
>What are the divisors of 6?
Are you not saying that (1+2+3+6+12)*2=24 is how a perfect number is found?
After all you did 1*2=2 therefore 1 is not a perfect number so is 6
>>
>>17038309
Yes 1 is the divisor of 1.

12 isn't a divisor of 6

Using a system that includes an axiom does not indicate that particular axiom is being evoked.

It does when you append C to the standard ZF; exactly like ordering an "ice cream cone" evokes the cone, not just the ice cream.

If you order an ice cream cone, you can still reference the ice cream independently of the cone. This is just a laughably bad argument you're trying to make and I doubt you've even convinced yourself by it.

Lol what. I wouldn't order an ice cream cone unless I were expecting a cone with my ice cream. Would you?
>>
>>17038398
Sure. That doesn't mean literally every statement you can nake regarding it must pertain to the cone part.
If someone told you their ice cream cone had sprunkles then do you imagine the sprinkles are literally embedded in the cone?

Yes, if you say your ice cream cone has sprinkles on it, it ALWAYS means that the sprinkles are a feature of the cone, usually adhered to a rim that was dipped in a coating of e.g. chocolate; it NEVER means the sprinkles are a feature of the ice cream flavor itself; NEVER. Same as if you say you want salt on your margarita glass: it NEVER means you want the salt in the drink. Jesus fucking christ, anon.

A prime number has two distrint divisors, 1 and itself. That is the definition.
This is why 1 is not a prime and 0 is not a prime. A midwit will say that 1 is divisible by 1 and itself and yet if we put the divisors in a set we must get a set of cardinality 2. If you put 1 or 0 twice in a set you still get cardinality of 1.
This is why your definition of is sophistry.

The fuck are you on about?
OP tried to first redefine primes then duct tape the broken definition to other concepts.

Time to whip out the GPTs..

No prime can be perfect: By definition, a prime number's only proper divisor is 1. Since 1 can never equal the prime number itself (p > 1), no prime number can ever be perfect.

Consider the number n = 120.
Prime factorization is 2^3 * 3^1 * 5^1.
The sum = (1 + 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3) * (1 + 3^1) * (1 + 5^1) = 360. This is therefore not a perfect number. However the sum = 3n.
I'll accept an apology now. It's not my fault you're too retarded to understand simple formulas.
