Problem Statement

For every positive integer nn let σ(n)\sigma(n) denote the sum of all its positive divisors. A number nn is called weird if σ(n)2n\sigma(n)\ge2n and there exists no representation n=d1+d2++dr,n=d_1+d_2+\ldots+d_r,where r>1r>1 and d1,,drd_1,\ldots,d_r are pairwise distinct positive divisors of nn. Prove that there are infinitely many weird numbers.
