0:05:59 > 0:06:02taken the lead, Emmanuel College, on the number 12.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05If the function sigma of X is defined
0:06:05 > 0:06:08as the sum of the positive factors of X,
0:06:08 > 0:06:09including X itself,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11what is sigma of 12?
0:06:11 > 0:06:1412 + 6 + 4 + 3...

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- 28.- Plus six, yeah? 28.- 28.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- 28.- Correct.
0:06:27 > 0:06:2912 is the first abundant number,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31in other words, the smallest positive integer X
0:06:31 > 0:06:35for which the sum of its factors, excluding X itself,
0:06:35 > 0:06:36is greater than X.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39What is the second abundant number?
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Could it be 60 or...?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- 16 would be...- No, 60. 60,6-0.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Is it that high?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I don't know. Or there could be one below. I feel like 60 is abundant.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49There could be one before it.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Should we just go for 60?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Try 16.- What were you going to say?
0:06:53 > 0:06:5528 is a perfect number, so surely it's...
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It can't be 28.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It could be 24.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00- No, it isn't 24.- 60.
0:07:00 > 0:07:0260.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- No, it's 18.- Oh!
0:07:04 > 0:07:08And finally, the totient function phi of X is defined
0:07:08 > 0:07:11as the number of positive integers not exceeding X that are
0:07:11 > 0:07:13co-primed to X.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15What is phi of 12?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Five, seven, nine, ten, 11.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Five.- Five, yeah? Five.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22No, it's four.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Right, we're going to take a picture round now.
