Every integer is a divisor of itself. A proper divisor of an integer means a positive divisor other than the integer itself. For example, the divisors of 8 are 1, 2,4, and 8, but the proper divisors of 8 are just 1,2, and 4.

What is the smallest positive integer whose proper divisors add up to more than the integer itself?
