Ok, I get 'n' but what the heck is 'm'? Weavehole (talk) 12:37, 3 June 2010 (UTC)weaveholeReply

m is any positive integer (whole number) that is less than n. The definition says that a positive integer n is superabundant if the ratio ${\displaystyle {\frac {\sigma (n)}{n}}}$ is larger for n than for any smaller positive integer. Gandalf61 (talk) 13:02, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
