I ths paper we preset some results about k-perfect umbers, ad geeralze two equaltes due to M. Persastr see []. Itroducto Defto. A postve teger s k-perfect f σ = k, whe k >, k Q. The specal case k = correspods to perfect umbers, whch are tmately coected wth Mersee prmes. We have the followg smallest k-perfect umbers. For k =,, 49,,..., for k = 3 0, 7, 5377, 45940,..., for k = 4 3040, 370, 7540,..., for k = 5 4439040, 39939550,..., for k = 5434555057704900,.... For a gve prme umber p, f s p-perfect ad p does ot dvde, the d p + perfect. Ths mples that a teger s a 3 perfect umber dvsble by but ot by 4, f ad oly f s a odd perfect umber, of whch oe are kow. If 3 s 4k perfect ad 3 does ot dvde, the s 3k perfect. A k perfect umber s a postve teger such that ts harmoc sum of dvsors s k. For the perfect umbers we have the followgs: = 3 + 3 3, 49 = 3 + 3 3 + 5 3 + 7 3, = 3 + 3 3 + 5 3 + 7 3 + 9 3 + 3 + 3 3 + 5 3 etc. We posted the followg cojecture: Cojecture.

Sce the fucto u x = xt x s cotuous ad dfferetable we ca apply the Lagrage s theorem ad we obta x + t x+ xt x x + x = u x + u x x + x = u z whe x z x + hece we have the equalty t z z l t or z l t t z.

The s eough to show that the fucto V x = x t x s decreasg. Dfferetable V we get V x = t x t x x l t = l r t x r 0 r! r Sce V s decreasg ad we may say that V x + V x hece ad from t follows the equalty of the eucato. Corollary.
