Abstract

A natural number n is called k-perfect if σ(n)=kn. In this Paper, we show that for any integers r2,k2, the number of odd k-perfect numbers n with ω(n)r is bounded by {\lfloor4^r\log_3 2\rfloor+r\choose r} \sum_{i=1}^r {kr/2\choose i} , which is less than 4^{r^2} when r is enough large. 10.1017/S000497271200113X
