[parent] quasiperfect number (Definition)

If there exists an abundant number $ n$ with divisors $ d_1, \ldots, d_k$, such that

$\displaystyle \sum_{i = 1}^k d_i = 2n + 1,$
that number would be called a quasiperfect number. Such a number would be $ n > 10^{35}$ and have $ \omega(n) > 6$ (where $ \omega$ is the number of distinct prime factors function).

A quasiperfect number would thus overshoot the mark for being a perfect number by a margin of just 1. (The powers of 2 are short of perfection by a margin of 1).
