8128

From HandWiki

8128 (eight thousand one hundred [and] twenty-eight) is the natural number and integer following 8127 and preceding 8129.

In mathematics

It is most notable for being the fourth perfect number[1][2][3] (its proper divisors 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 127, 254, 508, 1016, 2032, and 4064 add up to 8128),[4] and one of the earliest numbers to be recognized as such.[5] As a perfect number, it is tied to the Mersenne prime 127, 27 – 1, with 26 (27 – 1) yielding 8128. Also related to its being a perfect number, 8128 is a harmonic divisor number.[6]

Another consequence of 8128 being a perfect number is that it has the same prime factors as the sum of its divisors, and its cototient is a power of two.
