Short description: Wikipedia list article

The following is a list of the known perfect numbers, and the exponents p that can be used to generate them (using the expression 2p−1× (2p − 1)) whenever 2p − 1 is a Mersenne prime. All even perfect numbers are of this form. It is not known whether there are any odd perfect numbers.[1] (As of 2019) there are 51 known perfect numbers in total.[2][3][4] For even perfect numbers, the ratio p / digits approaches log(10) / log(4) = 1.6609640474...

The displayed ranks are among those perfect numbers which are known (As of December 2018). Some ranks may change later if smaller perfect numbers are discovered. It is known there is no odd perfect number below 101500 ≈ 24983.[6] GIMPS reported that by 8 April 2018 the search for Mersenne primes (and thereby even perfect numbers) became exhaustive up to the 47th above.[7]
