Task — Abundant number

Write a script to generate the first 20 abundant odd numbers (AONs). According to Wikipedia, an abundant number is 'a number n for which the sum of divisors σ(n) > 2n, or, equivalently, the sum of proper divisors (or aliquot sum) s(n) > n.'

Examples

Example 1:
945 is the first abundant odd number as:
Sum of divisors:
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 15 + 21 + 27 + 35 + 45 + 63 + 105 + 
135 + 189 + 315 = 975 which is greater than 945

Analysis

Wikipedia tells us that n is an abundant number if the sum of its divisors (including itself) σ(n) > 2n. Some abundant numbers are even, but we only want the odd ones.

Finding the divisors of a number isn't too hard, but I save myself the trouble by invoking Math::Prime::Util qw(divisors), and simply by checking successive odd integers we get the required 20 AONs in milliseconds. The 20th AON is 8925, so we don't need BigInt, and in fact the 200th is 92925 and even the 2000th is a manageable 1002375.

my ($count, $i, @divisors, $sum);

# loop over odd numbers
$count = 0;
for ($i = 1; $count < 20; $i += 2) {
    
    # add the divisors
    @divisors = divisors($i);
    $sum = 0;
    $sum += $_ for @divisors;
    
    # we have an AON if the sum exceeds 2i
    if ($sum > 2 * $i) {
        $count ++;
        say qq[aon[$count] = $i because σ($i) = $sum which is more than 2 * $i = ] . (2 * $i);
    }
}
