The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

weird number??

Asked by babyruth in C Programming Language

Tags: number

I stumble into a math problem yesterday..Weird Number.
One of my friend said that it's impossible to come up with the source code to generate the weird number because weird number is a unsolved maths mystery... but... i doubted him
so help me proved him wrong.....

here's somthing about weird number...

a weird number is an integer say...n for which:
1.the proper divisors of n sum to a number larger than n; and also
2.n cannot be expressed as the sum of a subset of its proper divisors.
As an example, consider n=12. The divisors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. The proper divisors of a number are the divisors of n exluding n itself. Thus the proper divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. These sum to 16 so the first condition is satisfied. However, the second condition is not satisfied because:

     12 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6

so 12 can be expressed as the sum of a subset of its proper divisors. Therefore 12 is not a weird number.

For the case of n=70, the proper divisors of 70 are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, and 35. The first condition is satisfied becasuse these sum to 74, which is greater than 70. The second condition is satisfied because there is no subset of the proper divisors that sums to exactly 70. Therefore 70 is a weird number
