  2. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    To calculate the check digit, take the remainder of (53 / 10), which is also known as (53 modulo 10), and if not 0, subtract from 10. Therefore, the check digit value is 7. i.e. (53 / 10) = 5 remainder 3; 10 - 3 = 7. Another example: to calculate the check digit for the following food item "01010101010x". Add the odd number digits: 0+0+0+0+0+0 = 0.

  7. Perfect number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number

    Perfect number. In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its positive proper divisors, that is, divisors excluding the number itself. For instance, 6 has proper divisors 1, 2 and 3, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, so 6 is a perfect number. The next perfect number is 28, since 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28.
