==Properties== *The smallest odd abundant number is 945. *The smallest abundant number not divisible by 2 or by 3 is 5391411025 whose distinct [[prime factor]]s are 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29 {{OEIS|id=A047802}}. An algorithm given by Iannucci in 2005 shows how to find the smallest abundant number not divisible by the first ''k'' [[Prime number|prime]]s.<ref>{{citation |author=D.
