An integer $n$ is an abundant number if the sum of the proper divisors of $n$ is more than $n$ itself, or the sum of all the divisors is more than twice $n$ That is, $\sigma(n) > 2n$ with $\sigma(n)$ being the sum of divisors function.
For example, the integer 30. Its proper divisors are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, which add up to 42.
Multiplying a perfect number by some integer $x$ gives an abundant number (as long as $x > 1$ .
Given a pair of amicable numbers, the lesser of the two is abundant, its proper divisors adding up to the greater of the two.
