multiply-perfect complex number x+y*I is a number whose divisors sum to an complex multiple of x+y*I. For instance, 1+3*I has divisors 1, 1+I, 1+3*I, and 2+I, which sum to (1+3*I)(2-I). Numbers in other quadrants can be formed by multiplying by -1, I, and -I. The plot above shows the numbers plotted in the complex plane. Unlike integer perfect numbers, which factor into 2^k * p, where p is prime, complex multiply-perfect numbers do not have such a nice factorization.
