DIFFERENT KINDS OF NUMBERS NUMBERS

Deficient number -number whose proper divisors add up to less than itself. For example, 16 is a deficient number as sum of its proper divisors {1, 2, 4, 8} = 15.

Abundant number -number whose proper divisors add up to more than the number itself. For example, 18 is a abundant number as 1+2 +3 +6 +9 = 21. Can you find the smallest abundant number?

Happy number -number for which the sum of the squares of the digits eventually equals 1.For example, 203 is happy because 2² +0² +3² = 13; 1² +3² = 10; 1² +0² = 1

Can you think of another happy number? An unhappy number?
