For those who don't know, here's the definition:
A Perfect Number is some number n such that the sum of its divisors is equal to 2n (or just n if you don't count n|n =P )
Ex: Let n=6, and the divisors of 6 are 1,2,3 and 6
1+2+3+6 = 12 = 2*6.
Moving on, there's also the neat fact about them that states that the reciprocals of the divisors will always add up to 2.
Ex: n=6, 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/2 + 1/1 = 2
Now, my question/wonderment: is there any possible relation between this fact, and the summation of (1/2)^n, which converges to two as n approaches infinity?
