The first two are 6 and 28. The factors of 6 add up to the same thing as 6.

Six

1 * 2 * 3 = 6

1 + 2 + 3 = 6

Twenty eight

1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28 (the multiplication is not the same as for 6).

Four hundred ninety Six

This one is kind of hard to believe

It is 16 * 31

1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 248 + 124 + 62 + 31 = 496
