Perfect Numbers #

This file proves Theorem 70 from the 100 Theorems List.

The theorem characterizes even perfect numbers.

Euclid proved that if 2 ^ (k + 1) - 1 is prime (these primes are known as Mersenne primes), then 2 ^ k * (2 ^ (k + 1) - 1) is perfect.

Euler proved the converse, that if n is even and perfect, then there exists k such that n = 2 ^ k * (2 ^ (k + 1) - 1) and 2 ^ (k + 1) - 1 is prime.
